Africa has the longest archaeological record in the world. This course will examine the archaeology of African peoples from millions of years ago to the present, with particular emphasis placed on the last ten thousand years of African prehistory. Topics covered will include the continent’s unique pathways to food production, as well as the development of metallurgy, the rise of complex urban societies such as Aksum and Djenné-Djenno, and contemporary issues in cultural heritage.
