Abstract

Abstract The population in Darfur, Sudan, is served by craftsmen who migrate each dry season to market centres throughout the province. The craftsmen and women (blacksmiths and potters) camp beyond the outskirts of the main settlement. This paper discusses factors that affect the choice of camp location, and examines the site itself for indications of craft debris. The aim is to put forward a set of features which are recognisable in the archaeological record, and which would therefore be of value in the interpretation of craft activity and social organisation.
