THE INCIPIT-CSIC PROJECT IN SOMALILAND, 2017 FIELD SEASON

In the 2017 field season in Somaliland, we have had the opportunity to study several archaeological sites that significantly transform our knowledge of the history of the Horn of Africa and the Indian trade in general during the last two millennia. In this video, we will make known the main findings made.
