DOCUMENT Citation Only Cézar Sebastião Mahumane.

Grounded in the Past, Looking Forward: Reflections on Archaeological Practice in the New Millennium (2016)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Ann Stahl.

The plenary theme asks us to reflect on the question “what pasts for Africa?” This is a very big question, with many possible responses.

This location has substantially shaped my approach to our field, in terms of the questions that intrigue me, the combination of ‘science’ and ‘art’ through which my...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Chafim Belson Braga.

This paper reviews the findings of recent archeological and archival work undertaken in two slave taking areas, potentially related to the origin of the slaves carried from Mozambique in 1794 on the ventually shipwrecked slaving vessel, São José. Resulting from the triangulation of archival sources and previously conducted archeological surveys, we present the results of preliminary field studies of two "arringas" (fortified camps in the Mozambican interior associated with the slave trade) -...
