Produktbeschreibung

Through in-depth examinations of a range of technologies, this book demonstrates that the ancient and Medieval Sahara was as much a connective tissue as a barrier, and was teeming with innovation and knowledge exchange between mobile and sedentary groups. It is of value to historians, archaeologists, Africanists, and anthropologists.
