In this ethno-archaeological study, archaeologist Moustapha Sall investigates modern ceramic traditions in western Gambia and central-west/south-west Senegal. His study aims to investigate the relationship between variations in pottery and pottery manufacturing techniques on the one hand, and the ethno-linguistic and social identities and histories of modern cultural groups on the other. His larger goal is to be able to apply the underlying principles about these relationships revealed by the study to understanding archaeological ceramic traditions and the social histories of their makers and users in the region. Sall writes that archaeology in the Senegambia has long seen considerable mapping of modern ethnonyms onto the archaeological vestiges of ancient populations, and through this project he sought to address critically the problems and potential of such assumptions.
