Banda Through Time
Banda Through Time is a collection of digital resources generated through the activities of the Banda Research Project, which focused archaeological investigations on the Banda area, Bono (formerly Brong-Ahafo) Region, Ghana from 1982 through 2011. The collection includes: project funding proposals; interim and final funding agency reports; field notes, maps and drawings from field seasons focused on surface survey (1982) and excavations at the sites of Makala Kataa (1989, 1990, 1994), Kuulo Kataa (1995, 2000), a Regional Testing project (2001), and excavations at Ngre Kataa (2008, 2009). Resources are organized into "child collections" (listed to the right) to facilitate access.
