ISBN: 9781776140343 出版年：2016 页码：236 Sadr, Karim Esterhuysen, Amanda Sievers, Christine Wits University Press

Confronting national, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries, contributors to african archaeology without frontiers argue against artificial limits and divisions created through the study of 'ages' that in reality overlap and cannot and should not be understood in isolation. Papers are drawn from the proceedings of the landmark 14th panafrican archaeological association congress held in johannesburg in 2014, nearly seven decades after the conference planned for 1951 was relocated to algiers following the national party's rise to power in south africa. Contributions by keynote speakers chapurukha kusimba and akinogundiran encourage african archaeologists to practise an archaeology that collaborates across many related fields of study to enrich our understanding of the past. The nine papers cover a broad geographical sweep by incorporating material on ongoing projects throughout the continent, including south africa, botswana, cameroon, togo, tanzania, kenya and nigeria.
