The excavation produced sherds of Kwale-type pottery in the lower level, and of a crude ware probably derived from it in the upper. This is taken as evidence of Bantu-speaking occupants, but a comparison with other sites in central Kenya raises doubts as to whether they were really the Gumba, and the identity of the latter remains unproved.","PeriodicalId":243659,"journal":{"name":"Azania:archaeological Research in Africa","volume":"49 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":"133614381","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}
