Reviews

As far as this reviewer is aware, this is the first book to treat the archaeology of the circum-African islands as a coherent whole. It does so expertly and comprehensively. Mitchell is one of the few scholars qualified to write a book of this type, moving as it does across enormous swathes of space and time and drawing on various traditions of archaeology and theoretical perspectives. The result is a major contribution to African archaeology, with relevance far beyond the continent. Thomas P. Leppard - Journal of African Archaeology Winner of the SAfA Book Prize 2023
