Those scholars who have recently been questioning received wisdom that Qanbalu was on Pemba and suggesting instead its location on the Comores may search for support in this article, but the author advises caution at this stage. Especially valuable is the food-crop evidence recovered. The indication of Setaria (‘foxtail millet’) is perhaps unexpected.
