Abstract

Salt has been extracted from the brine springs in the Uvinza area for many centuries. This joint article describes excavations at some of these springs, carried out in association with the Bantu Studies Project of the Institute, and in the second part gives an account of the more recent history of Uvinza. Stratified Iron Age sites covering a long period are very few in East Africa, and the Uvinza pottery succession is important. Drs. Sutton and Roberts carried out the work while on the staff of the University College, Dar es Salaam; Dr. Roberts has now been appointed to a post in the University of Zambia.
