Subsistence and dietary studies in the Archaeological record are poorly understood. This work describes a study on modern peoples diet undertaken within and adjacent to the Koobi Fora region of the East Lake Turkana Basin in North Horr District, Northern Kenya using actualistic and isotopic analysis. The ultimate goal is to provide an interpretive framework for investigating the subsistence strategies and diet of people believed to have occupied the region during the last 10,000 years. The three modern groups used in this study are not direct analogues for the Holocene peoples but do have diets similar to those proposed in the region by Barthelme (1985). However, if these peoples diets are found to be discrete, then it may be possible to identify similar subsistence strategies in the regions Holocene record. The data from this work is important not only to archaeologists but to botanists and ecologists.

The baobab is surely the botanical symbol of Africa, instantly recognizable from afar and a compelling icon of the African landscape. This age-old 'upside-down tree' invariably inspires wonder, awe and mystery, and has intrigued travellers for hundreds of years. In an absorbing, inspired account, author Rupert Watson explores the life and times of this fascinating tree, from its early Madagascan beginnings to its present status on the continent and its future in a changing Africa. He takes a close look at the myriad uses of baobabs over the ages: their hollow centers have served as prisons, toilets, wells and bars, and some specimens have even been used as a refuge in battle or as burial sites. Other relationships between humans and the baobab are explored too, often illustrated by delightful anecdotes. The curious baobab is shown in its many stages, moods and guises and sometimes in the most unlikely places. This book cannot fail to inspire.
