An Archaeological Survey of Iramba, Tanzania

Abstract

Summary A brief survey of Iramba Area in north-central Tanzania has provided valuable information concerning the archaeology of an area of which little was previously known, apart from its rock-paintings. A number of Stone Age sites are reported, as well as Iron Age sites with cord-impressed pottery which may be related to cord-rouletted wares from further to the north and north-west. New rock-painting sites are described and illustrated and the rock-art of this region discussed.
