Kofi\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn attempt to use archaeological materials to investigate the  colonization of southeastern Africa during the period 1500 to 1900.  Perry demonstrates the usefulness of archaeology in bypassing the  biases of the ethnohistorical and documentary record and generating a  more comprehensive understanding of history. Special attention is paid  to the period of state formation in Swaziland and a critique of the  `Settler Model', which the author finds to be invalid.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780306459559\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b110430\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 180\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311848476812,"sku":"9780306459559","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780306459559.jpg?v=1771513089","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780306459559","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
