Archaeology in Africa workshop at Sapienza University of Rome, December 6-7, 2017
From the Conference Organizers:
To mark the 10th anniversary of the African Archaeology Group and the John Alexander seminar series at the University of Cambridge, we are holding a conference dedicated to ‘Africa on the Move.’ The dispersal of our species out of Africa sits prominently in the popular imagination while internal African diversity has received relatively little attention. In this conference we wish to focus on the dispersal of people, artefacts, and ideas within Africa throughout the ages.
