Sobre este artículo
(Cape Town: Purnell, 1971) 36000105X. 8vo; original brown boards, lettered in white on spine and upper cover; price-clipped pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 170, incl. index; many photographs, some of which in full colour. Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel; bump to top edge of upper board; earlier owner's name and inscription to front free endpaper; some tape marks to endpapers. Good to very good condition. "The fossilised man-apes of Makapansgat, the might of Monomotapa. The gold rhinoceros of Mapungubwe, the painted eland of the Drakensberg. The hand-axes of the Earlier Stone Age, the ritual burials of the Later Stone Age. Cosmetic mines in Swaziland, gold mines in Rhodesia. These are just a few of the intriguing subjects covered by this lively account of archaeology and prehistory in Southern Africa. From his practical fieldwork, his comprehensive reading and his personal acquaintance with most of the leading figures, Bert Woodhouse has compiled an absorbing story. It is written for the general reader and is illustrated with the author's own photographs." .
