In the first part of this passionately argued lecture, he makes the case for the importance of 'archaeology in Africa' and 'Africa in archaeology'. Africa was almost certainly the birthplace of the first hominids and has an archaeological record longer than any other continent. Drawing on examples from the archaeology of Ethiopia, specifically the ancient civilisation of Aksum, Phillipson highlights the contribution that archaeology can make to the understanding of that continent and its people, and demonstrates the relevance of African archaeology to mankind as a whole. In the second part of this lecture, Phillipson defends the vital role of museums as custodians of a significant part of our international cultural heritage and as an essential resource for the furtherance of international scholarship.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eArchaeology in Africa and in Museums.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Archaeology by period \/ region [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology by period \/ region\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20by%20period%20\/%20region%20%5BHDD%5D%22\"\u003eHDD\u003c\/a\u003e], Archaeology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20%5BHD%5D%22\"\u003eHD\u003c\/a\u003e], General \u0026amp; world history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on General \u0026amp; world history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22General%20\u0026amp;%20world%20history%20%5BHBG%5D%22\"\u003eHBG\u003c\/a\u003e], Regional studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Regional studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Regional%20studies%20%5BGTB%5D%22\"\u003eGTB\u003c\/a\u003e], Museology \u0026amp; heritage studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Museology \u0026amp; heritage studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Museology%20\u0026amp;%20heritage%20studies%20%5BGM%5D%22\"\u003eGM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46019795026200,"sku":"9780521537223","price":19.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521537223i_1f7d5b88-0007-4a9b-8cf8-9a4c5aca056d.jpg?v=1691369288","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/archaeology-in-africa-and-in-museums-an-inaugural-lecture-given-in-the-university-of-cambridge-22-october-2002-paperback-9780521537223","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
