from the excavations at Manda and sondages and surface collections
from many places in the Lamu archipelago and along
the coast of Kenya to the Somali border. Its purpose is to
record and comment upon the ceramics found there.

the culture represented by these ceramics, its continuity and
change , will thus be the better envisaged and understood.
Th reoordill8 is complete and is accompanied reconstruction
where appropriate. It records in detail minor matters
of shape and decoration, where possible putting these variations
in an archaeological context
