"This volume applies insights drawn from the theories and methods of landscape archaeology
to contribute to our understanding of the nature if West African societies in the
Atlantic Era (17th-19th Centuries AD). The authors adopt a briad set of methods and
approaches to tackle how the nature and structures of African political and social
relations changed across regions in this period. This is only the second volume in
a decade to focus on the archeology of this period in West Africa, and the first volume
in sub-Saharan Africanist archeology to be focused in the recent past in oue sub-region
of the continent from a coherent methodological and theoretical standpoint"--Provided
