I am interested in pursuing archaeological questions on a global scale, however my research is focused on African prehistory. Africa is the cradle of humankind, and our early experiences in its diverse environments motivated us to develop the technologies and social systems that allowed us successfully spread across the planet. It is in Africa where human-environmental interactions have the greatest time-depth. The last 12,000 years of Africa are particularly important. Trajectories toward food production (farming and herding), urbanism, and social complexity in Africa differ from those in other parts of the world, permitting unique perspectives on some of the most important shifts in the human career. One of the most interesting aspects of the African archaeology is the long-term persistence and co-existence of herder, farmer, and hunter-gatherer societies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a421a4b51a58404bc2f4a0e/1606217264523-A5L6SXWIEF8T6UJR6BU2/F1.large.jpg Home - Recent Publications Steven T Goldstein, Alison Crowther, ER Henry, Anneke Janzen, M Katongo, Samantha Brown, Jeremy Farr, Charles Le Moyne, Andrea Picin, Kristine Korzow Richter, N Boivin. “Revisiting Kalundu Mound, Zambia: Implications for the timing of social and subsistence transitions in Iron Age southern Africa” African Archaeological Review MJ Storozum, ST Goldstein, DA Contreras, AO Gidna, AZP Mabulla, M.
