Conference Review: This Time for Africa: African Conference on Experimental Archaeology (ACE) 2018
Prologue
Toronto, 2012: There is a session on experimental archaeology at the Society for Africanist Archaeologists’ biannual conference. While waiting to upload our presentations to the conference laptop, my colleague and I pass the time chatting. “I am sure we could fill a whole conference on experimental archaeology in Africa,” my colleague says. I nod, say that someone will probably initiate such a conference soon and turn to tell the student volunteer where to find my presentation on the USB stick.

Ceramic crockery and corners of the Neolithic home. Theme guided tour and ceramic workshop. It is an opportunity to discover that the core of many activities within the home is the hearth, that the weaving area consists of a vertical frame and that the stone tools used in agricultural and daily activities find them in the peasant world. Of the end of the century, but they are of metal.
