Meat-feasting Sites and Cattle Brands: Patterns of Rock-shelter Utilization in East Africa

Abstract

Dr. Gramly has been working on the origins and development of East Africa's first food-producers. He is presently on the staff of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In this article he describes excavations at two nineteenth century pastoral Masai sites and suggests an approach for tracing Maa-speaking pastoralists in the archaeological record.
