This book is an important contribution for those interested in the pre-history of North-east Africa. Although, the focus of study is Eritrea, it also touches in detail contexts from Ethiopia, the Sudan and Egypt. The cultural sequences of Ethiopia and Eritrea are not well-understood and reconstructed to this date in comparison to the Nile Valley of the Sudan and Egypt. The book can be used as reference material in any higher learning institutions giving course in African Archaeology.
