The Iron Age of Northern Malawi: Recent Work

Abstract

This article gives an account of work at a number of sites in northern Malawi. It adds much to our knowledge of the Iron Age pottery of the region; one ware is shown to have connections with the ‘Dimple-based’ ware far to the north, and also with stamped and channelled wares of Rhodesia to the south. Mr. Robinson is continuing his work in Malawi; Miss Sandelowsky, now Mrs. Pendleton, is a student at the University of California at Berkeley, and is acting archaeologist at the State Museum, Windhoek.
