About The Middle Stone Age Of Nigeria In Its West African
This book provides a full up to date account of the evidence relating to the Middle Stone Age in Nigeria and the other countries of West Africa. It relies upon the author’s own fieldwork and extensive personal knowledge of the region and its archaeology. It is abundantly illustrated with maps, photographs, and drawings. The emphasis is on stratigraphy, chronology, site situation, and artefact characteristics, with such general background information about the countries concerned as is required. A summary account is also provided of the current situation in relation to this topic (covering climate, archaeology, and human evolution) in the African continent as a whole, so that a judgement can made as to how the West African evidence fits in with the rest. In general accounts of the African palaeolithic record up to now, West Africa tends to be neglected, so this book goes a long way to fill a gap in the available literature.Table of ContentsList of FiguresList of TablesPrefaceChapter 1: The Middle Stone Age in West Africa: IntroductionChapter 2: The Middle Stone Age of NigeriaChapter 3: The Middle Stone Age in West AfricaChapter 4: West Africa: regional summaryChapter 5: A wider perspective
