Reviews

This volume is certainly a rich resource for scholars working in a variety of disciplines within this region, and a model of the potential afforded by similar research on ceramic traditions past and present elsewhere in Africa. Barbara Frank, Stony Brook University, USA (Journal of African Archaeology, vol. 10 (2), 2012). This ambitious volume is a welcome socially oriented study of ceramics that presents a series of new directions possible in West Africa as a result of integrating the increasing range and number of analysed archaeological datasets and systematic ethnoarchaeological studies with modern approaches to material culture research. Stephen Dueppen, University of Oregon, USA (Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa, vol. 47 (3), 2012).
