I have dedicated my life to African archaeology because the deep past in Africa is everyone’s heritage and it must be protected. - Lyn Wadley

The best way to preserve our heritage for future generations is to teach young people about it and involve them in the process of acquiring such knowledge for themselves

In some parts of Africa such as Mali, men and women are buried with the artifacts they owned in life, while in Ethiopia, stelae mark the gender of the deceased. Elsewhere, as in the Stone Age of southern Africa, gender-undifferentiated grave goods are placed with men, women, and children, suggesting a genderless ancestral world.

We have incredible archaeological sites in this country and we frequently recover new and exciting data.
