Foundations of an African Civilisation: Aksum and the northern Horn, 1000 BC - AD 1300 (Eastern African Studies) (Eastern Africa Series)
Offers a valuable introduction to what is still a very poorly developed research field. . As a way into the complex world of 'Ethiopian' archaeology this book has much to offer. ANTIQUITY (A) welcome synthesis of current scholarship (and) an important contribution to African history that belongs in all university libraries. CHOICE An impressive piece of work, valuable not only as a statement on current archaeological research in Ethiopia and related areas, but also because it incorporates evidence from historical documentation, linguistics, and other sources. (...) This is a book that should be added to the shelves not only of those interested in the Ethiopian past but also of those with wider interests in later African archaeology and history.
