Abstract: | Examines some four hundred radiocarbon dates which have so far been processed from Iron Age sites in Bantu Africa, and concludes that the intersextile range provides a more accurate approximation for the floruit of individual industries than does the interquartile range. Sections: the method - the cultural framework - the duration of iron age industries - radiocarbon dates and 'true' ages. Fig, notes, map, tables, summary. |
