| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aims at reconstructing the African History that is relatively underdeveloped in Japan. In order to realize this, the project organized many study meetings with Japanese and overseas scholars who are specialized in other subjects than African History.The basic plan of the project is to attach more importance to the changes and developments of material culture than to the political vicissitudes of the continent. It procures primary historical materials through the visit of the archives or the archeological excavations. It could unearth big buildings totally made of stone which can be the trace of a royal palace of the 10th century. It could also demonstrate intense manufacturing activities before the arrival of Islam in the continent.
As the project has succeeded in finding new date on the past events in Africa and a new method to write societies without the state, we are now preparing a series of books on the African History.
