M. S. Bisson - Commerce et tribut. Documents archéologiques sur l'origine des États du sud de VAfrique centrale. Cet article examine le rapport du négoce et du tribut avec le développement d'États préhistoriques en Afrique sud-centrale, à l'aide de données historiques et archéologiques. L'hypothèse selon laquelle le négoce organisé sur de longues distances aurait été la cause première de la formation des États est examinée en ce qui concerne les Yeke, le Monomatapa et les Lunda du Sud et de l'Est. Les données archéologiques porteraient à conclure que le commerce au long cours fut un facteur important dans la croissance de l'État. Toutefois, il y a aussi trace d'une formation d'État antérieure, et qui aurait été provoquée par le développement d'un réseau tributaire, avant l'apparition du négoce s'étendant aux littoraux
