Meeting Description:

This conference is about the early history of East African people,
their languages and cultures, concluding the Leiden project on the
Linguistic History of East Africa. Aiming to correlate our linguistic
findings with those of other disciplines, the conference is
interdisciplinary and invites researchers from fields such as
archaeology, anthropology, history, and genetics in addition to
linguistics.
All sessions will be plenary. The conference is in-person, but on-line
attendance will be facilitated if necessary. Contact us if you have
any financial concerns.
We hope to discuss questions such as:
•       Were the people of earlier Savanna Pastoral Neolithic sites
relatives of the current hunter-gatherers, if there were no Cushitic
languages in Tanzania before 1000 years ago?
•       Through which routes did the Bantu peoples enter
Kenya-Tanzania?
•       What were the major cultural revolutions in the last 2000
years and how did they come about?
•       What were the mechanisms and constellations of contact and
exchange?

Program TBA on www.lheaf.org
