This article gives an account of excavations carried out at a shelter on the slopes of Mount Marsabit, which rises from the northern Kenya plain. It affords the first information about the pastoral-hunting peoples who lived in the region five or six centuries ago.

Summary A shelter containing mainly geometrical paintings has been disclosed in Unyamwezi, in an area hitherto unconnected with such sites. It would seem from the attitude of the Nunguli secret society towards these paintings, their apparent age, and the general lack of local knowledge about them, that they are of pre-Nyamwezi origin. The nature of the geometric shapes suggest that they may have some symbolic significance, perhaps through sun worship or for some as yet unidentified purpose, and their similarity to shapes in other Tanzanian sites raises the possibility of a connexion.

Summary This important paper offers a fresh and stimulating approach to the interpretation of a large faunal assemblage from an excavated site. There are interesting implications in regard to present-day land use—an aspect of archaeology to which too little attention has been paid. The principal author, Dr Gifford is Assistant Professor in The Board of Studies in Anthropology, University of California. This paper reports in detail on the largest faunal assemblage yet analysed from a Pastoral Neolithic site. Prolonged Drift, located south of Lake Nakuru, Kenya, yielded over 160,000 pieces of bone, reflecting a mixture of wild and domestic species in one midden deposit. A substantial part of our discussion centres on the possible economic systems and practices that may have existed in the Central Rift during the first and second millennia B.C.
