In Irangi two major wares were distinguished: Haubi ware which is probably associated with a ‘burnt brick’ site and which is decorated in a ‘dotted wavy line’ technique; and Kandaga ware which was found in and near a rock-shelter and is decorated with deep impressions arranged in lines or with grooves. Haubi ware has not been dated, but for the Kandaga ware several C14 dates are available. They are recent, showing that the pottery probably dates from after 1650. From other evidence one can deduce that this ware is older than 1850 and we may therefore provisionally assign it to the eighteenth century. The finds in Isanzu make it possible to reconstruct three vessel types of the cord-impressed ware to which Odner has already drawn attention; and of plaited cord-roulette ware which is probably sub-recent.","PeriodicalId":243659,"journal":{"name":"Azania:archaeological Research in Africa","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114438517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sparse and undated Late Stone Age occupation is succeeded by an Early Iron Age (Kapwirimbwe group) settlement with evidence of a highly developed ceramic tradition and for iron-working. Copper first appears in a second Early Iron Age phase. The introduction of the later Iron Age is marked by a pronounced change in the pottery style and by the appearance of goods obtained through contact with coastal trade. A human burial with filed teeth probably belongs to this phase. The final occupation of the site is of recent type and probably dates from the nineteenth century. The radiocarbon dates from Twickenham Road are an internally inconsistent series, but it is suggested that the change from Early Iron Age to later Iron Age may have taken place around the tenth century A.D.

They are distantly related to other Kalenjin speaking peoples.

Styles of Okiek pottery, their mode of manufacture, and their use are described. The similarity of Okiek pottery styles to pottery excavated from Sirikwa holes is discussed in terms of the existing archaeological and historical evidence which suggests that these two groups may have had a close economic relationship.","PeriodicalId":243659,"journal":{"name":"Azania:archaeological Research in Africa","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129442579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
