"This set of conference proceedings will be a classic, like all the others, and consulted long after its immediate applicability has waned ... It captures the depth and breadth of archaeological research on the African continent and refl ects the state of archaeology at a particular point in time". - Natalie Swanepoel, Department of Anthropology & Archaeology, University of South Africa
