520    "This new revised edition of African civilizations re-
       examines the physical evidence for developing social 
       complexity in tropical Africa over the last four thousand 
       years. Graham Connah focuses upon the archaeological 
       research of two key aspects of complexity, urbanism and 
       state formation, in seven main areas of Africa: Nubia, 
       Ethiopia, the West African savanna, the West African 
       forest, the East African coast and islands, the Zimbabwe 
       Plateau and parts of Central Africa. The book's main 
       concern is to review the available evidence in its varied 
       environmental setting, and to consider possible 
       explanations of the developments that gave rise to it. 
       Extensively illustrated, including new maps and plans, and
       offering an extended bibliography, this book provides 
       essential reading for students of archaeology, 
       anthropology, African history, black studies and social 
       geography."--Jacket.
