Fire, Food, Farms, and Fortifications: Recent Advances in the Archaeology of Africa
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
In this session, we present results of new and emerging work focusing on the African continent. Papers represent the wide range of periods and diversity of research topics in Africanist archaeology. Major themes include early fire and tool use; the beginnings of food production; and socioeconomic and settlement shifts during the Atlantic era. Regions covered span the continent, including Egypt and the Horn, as well as North, East, West, and Southern Africa.
