This collection of essays on archaeology and heritage studies is authored by local and expatriate scholars who are either past or current practitioners in archaeological work in Ghana. They are from Ghana, UK, US and Canada. The subject matter covered includes the history and evolution of the discipline in Ghana; the method and theory or 'how to do it' in archaeology, field research reports, and syntheses on findings from past and recent investigations. The eclectic or multidisciplinary strategy has been the research vogue in Ghanaian archaeology recently, and this is reflected in the various chapters. The essays engage with current theoretical trends in global archaeology and also focus on the role and status of archaeology as a discipline in Ghanaian society today. Archaeology is a relatively 'novel' subject to many in Ghana. This Reader will, therefore, be a huge asset to local students and experts alike. Foreign scholars will also find it very useful.

Chinua Achebe ("The art of fiction”) famously observed that until lions have their own historians “the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” In this volume chronicling the complex imperial and colonial entanglements of the Kpando region in eastern Ghana over recent centuries, the lions have found their proverbial historian. Drawing on an array of sources—archaeological, oral historical and documentary—Wazi Apoh brings locally nuanced perspective to the complex social political economic entanglements among Akpini, German and British actors. His illumination of previously silenced histories provides a rich platform from which to provoke us to imagine and act on the possibilities for restorative repatriation in the present. Its novel combination of historical study with analysis of ongoing dialogues over repatriation is a unique contribution to African studies.

This volume contains the results of significant fieldwork completed in the Tong Hills of Northern Ghana, an area currently inhabited by the Talensi ethno-linguistic group. Although made anthropologically renowned by the anthropologist Meyer Fortes, the archaeology and material culture of the Talensi Tong Hills had largely been neglected until the research initiated by the authors. Extensive archaeological surveys and excavations were completed allied with ethnoarchaeological and ethnobotanical research on shrines, sacrifice, and indigenous medicine. The data is presented and described, and a settlement chronology for the region reconstructed. The results of the geological, organic geochemical, petrographic, and archaeometallurgical analysis are provided. The function of shrines and the meaning of 'shrine' as a concept are evaluated, and indigenous medicinal practices, their links with shrines, and their substances, materiality, and archaeological implications assessed with reference to the primary empirical material gathered. Ritual, performance, and its inter-relation with the past and the archaeological record are also considered so as to question the 'timelessness' of previous anthropological presentations. The Tong Hills are also discussed with reference to their place in the wider history and archaeology of the region. This book will be useful to anyone interested in the archaeology and anthropology of African indigenous religions and ritual practices, as well as those interested in West African history, and the relationship between archaeology and anthropology.

"This volume applies insights drawn from the theories and methods of landscape archaeology to contribute to our understanding of the nature if West African societies in the Atlantic Era (17th-19th Centuries AD). The authors adopt a briad set of methods and approaches to tackle how the nature and structures of African political and social relations changed across regions in this period. This is only the second volume in a decade to focus on the archeology of this period in West Africa, and the first volume in sub-Saharan Africanist archeology to be focused in the recent past in oue sub-region of the continent from a coherent methodological and theoretical standpoint"--Provided by publisher.

The archaeological research in this dissertation contributes to current debates about the relationship between material culture and identity, and the impact of the triangular Atlantic trade on non-European peoples and their developing cultural diversity over seven centuries. Surface reconnaissance and excavations conducted at the site of Klowem in southeastern Ghana provide evidence that expands, supplements, and in some cases, corrects oral historical and European accounts of Krobo history and identity. By the late 14th century, Klowem already appears to have become a refuge, almost a century before the arrival of Europeans in AD 1471. By the 17th century, it had become a refuge for people displaced by the slave raiding and internecine conflicts associated with the trans-Atlantic trade. Disruptions were also caused by the territorial expansion of adjacent and more powerful states such as the Asante and Denkyira. The European presence on the coast introduced new trade opportunities that included the ability for people to acquire prestige or high value goods (beads, cowries, gins, and schnapps) and food crops (manioc and maize) without necessarily going through the traditional channels from chief to headmen to family head. The new socio-economic opportunities and challenges inspired the Krobo and their neighbors to invent new identities as the old order was threatened and displaced. Data gleaned from archaeological excavations about burial records, faunal remains, settlement patterns, the changing settlement landscapes at Klowem provide new insights into how material culture and daily practices shaped Krobo identity and power relations. AMS dating and ceramic classification document three cultural phases, which I have designated as Proto-Krobo (AD 1270-1450), Early Krobo (AD 1450-1650), and Later Krobo (AD 1650-1892). These traditions formed as the indigenous Dangme, Denkyira and Ewe peoples came together to form a more heterogeneous Krobo identity in the mid-seventeenth century. Over the centuries, daily routines, along with ritual practices such as dipo initiation, burial rites, and landscape transformations changed Klowem from a site of refuge to a national cultural center associated with the historical development of Krobo social identity and power
