Presents an inquiry into the questions that count, proposing different ways of thinking about historical archaeology. Confronting topics of oral traditions, our orientation to archaeology, and the misrepresentation of various cultures, this title calls for a different pathway to a more nuanced, and more inclusive historical archaeology.

?This work is innovative in that it ties oral tradition and myth to archaeological research. The valuable methodological innovations will be of interest to archaeologists all over the world as well as to those interested in the history of East Africa. Excellent bibliography; well illustrated with photographs, drawings, and maps; good index.?-Choice
