Seminar: Archaeology, Delafosse and the States of the West African Sahel

This seminar contrasts archaeological data amassed since the 1960s with the expectations of the Delafosse narrative (1912) and suggests new directions not only for practical field research but also for a renewed socio-political archaeology of Sahelian West Africa’s historic past. Speaker: Prof. Kevin C. MacDonald, Institute of Archaeology, University College London.
