| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is based on archaeological work, which was conducted in Ugweno, North-Pare in the district of Mwangs in Kilimanjaro Region. The research objective was to investigate the pottery of EIW- Kwale and LIW-Maore traditions dated to the 1st millennium AD. The sites of the same kind had been studied by Odner (1971a,b) who asserted that the relationship between the two pottery traditions was unclear. This work was designed to assess his views in the light of new archaeological development on the coast of East Africa and elsewhere (Chani, 1994 and 1996). The survey work identified eight sited of which two had been excavated; these are Mwaniko and Katola sites. Analysis of pottery focused on technological and stylistic traits, which included general surface finishing colour of sherd, firing, type of temper and grain size vessel form and decoration. The results suggest that the LIW-Moere pottery tradition evolved from the earlier Kwale of Ugweno (KU) pottery tradition. Probably there existed some favorable environmental conditions, which facilitated continuity of habitation. This enabled groups of people and/ or descendants of the Kwale of Ugweno tradition to gradually evolve technologically and stylistically into Maore pottery tradition. Thus, through time and due to internal dynamism people improved ability to act by their thought to manipulate the EIW- Kwale of Ugweno pottery tradition into LIW tradition of Maore to meet the pottery requirements of their community. | en_US |
