• Resumen

  • The exploratory investigation of two sites in Kenya throws new light on the transition from a �stone age� to an �iron age�. The model of widespread cultural replacement by Bantu-speaking iron producers is questioned and instead the authors propose a long interaction with regional variations. In matters of lithics, ceramics, hunting, gathering, husbandry and cooking, East African people created local and eclectic packages of change between 1500BC and AD500.
