Abstract

In early 2007, preliminary archaeological investigations were carried out at Marandet, central Niger. They aimed at understanding the history of the settlement, its economic role in an early trans-Saharan trade and relation to the historical Maranda. An interim report on the first archaeological season is presented. It provides a general description of the site, the material culture of its inhabitants and their external contacts.

The article will be available as a PDF in the near future.
