The Archaeology of North Africa at Kiekrz 1997

The Archaeology of North Africa at Kiekrz 1997 African Archaeological Review, Vol. 15, No. 1, 1998 Commentary Fekri A. Hassan1 In 1980, archaeologists working in North Africa gathered in Dy- maczewo, Poland, to initiate what was to become the first of a series of international symposia held every 4 years on various aspects of the prehis- tory of the Nile Valley, the Sahara, and East Africa. The fifth symposium was held this year (23-26 August 1997) in a new location, Kiekrz, by the side of a lake, a short distance from downtown Poznan, with its charming old market area. Participants to previous symposia, enjoying the forest surroundings and the tranquillity of one of Poland's many glacial lakes, gathered to see each other, learn about current and future research, and exchange views and ideas—an occasion that has become a part of a ritual complete with bonfire and strong mead. Organized by Lech Krzyzaniak and M. Kobusiewicz, the events are also remembered for their informality and the generous hospi- tality and warm welcome extended by the Polish organizers and their dedi- cated assistants. The symposia have so far produced four volumes of proceedings, which are an invaluable reference on the prehistory of North Africa (Krzyzaniak and Kobusiewicz, 1984, 1989, http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png African Archaeological Review Springer Journals
