This detailed account provides a comprehensive look into Clapperton's adventurous journey across the African continent, offering valuable insights into the geography, peoples, and cultures of the region. In this journal, Clapperton chronicles his second expedition into the interior of Africa, focusing on his travels from the Bight of Benin to the ancient city of Soccatoo (now Sokoto). His observations are enriched by detailed descriptions of the landscapes, wildlife, and encounters with various ethnic groups. The journal not only highlights the challenges and dangers faced during the journey but also provides a vivid portrayal of the African interior during the early 19th century. The book also includes the journal of Richard Lander, a member of Clapperton's party, who continued the journey from Kano to the sea-coast, taking a more eastern route. Lander’s account complements Clapperton's observations, offering additional perspectives and details about the regions explored. Journal of a Second Expedition into the Interior of Africa is a significant historical document that sheds light on the exploratory endeavors of the early 19th century. It is an invaluable resource for historians, geographers, and enthusiasts of African exploration, providing a detailed and firsthand account of the challenges and discoveries made during these pioneering expeditions.

Comparative Archaeologies

ISBN: 1441982256
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 850
Book Description
Archaeology, as with all of the social sciences, has always been characterized by competing theoretical propositions based on diverse bodies of locally acquired data. In order to fulfill local, regional expectations, different goals have been assigned to the practitioners of Archaeology in different regions. These goals might be entrenched in local politics, or social expectations behind cultural heritage research. This comprehensive book explores regional archaeologies from a sociological perspective—to identify and explain regional differences in archaeological practice, as well as their existing similarities. This work covers not only the currently-dominant Anglo-American archaeological paradigm, but also Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa, all of which have developed their own unique archaeological traditions. The contributions in this work cover these "alternative archaeologies," in the context of their own geographical, political, and socio-economic settings, as well as the context of the currently accepted mainstream approaches.
