Chapurukha Kusimba
Since 1997, Chap has teamed up with Sibel Kusimba to investigate the relationship between the precolonial cities on the Kenya coast and the hinterland. Their research is being undertaken in the Tsavo National Park. Here they are conducting the first in-depth analysis of the regional context of Iron Age Kenya Coast cities through site excavations. They are examining how socioeconomic and cultural contacts with Coast cities transformed Tsavo peoples 0 AD - 1800 AD, when Coast-Tsavo interactions began and increased as the cities developed. In 1998 Chap excavated Col. Patterson's Lion Den. To find out what he found, read his report, Unearthing The Man-Eaters of Tsavo. <<back to research |
