Description:
Foreword by Desmond Clark. A unique intensive study of the past human settlement of a single area of central Africa. It uses questions, ideas and understanding derived from ecology, archaeology, oral and written history, and observation of contemporary communities. The raising of the Itezhitezhi dam on the Kafue River in Zambia implied the flooding of a large area of islands, riverside grassland and woodlands, much lying within today's Kafue National Park. It has been intensively settled since the later Stone Age. This book presents the observations and conclusions of research to reconstruct the culture history of the area, and will be of interest to readers concerned with archaeology, African history, and African studies generally.
