Abstract

The ruins at Engaruka, at the foot of the Rift scarp south of Lake Natron, are the most extensive in the interior of East Africa, and the piecing together of their history is a most intriguing problem. In this article Mr. Sassoon, who is in charge of the Department of Antiquities in Tanzania, gives a report on the first season of what we hope will be continuing excavations at this important place. The site is also referred to in its wider setting by Dr. J. E. G. Sutton elsewhere in this volume.
