xii+323 pages with frontispiece map, maps, figures, tables, charts, drawings and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition.

This book summarizes present knowledge of the prehistory of eastern and southern Africa during the last twenty thousand years, up to the time when history takes over. This is a period whose cultural richness and diversity often comes as a surprise to the outsider, and which saw the inception of food-production techniques in regions where man had previously gained his livelihood by hunting, gathering and fishing. Particular attention is paid to the evidence for the origin and spread of the Iron Age peoples.

Condition: Residue from price sticker to front end paper else near fine copy in a fine jacket.
