摘要

Simiyu Wandibba belongs to a pioneering generation of African archaeologists who came of age during the transformative years of independence and worked to establish archaeology as an African discipline, practiced by Africans, on African terms. Born in 1945 in Bungoma County, Western Kenya, Wandibba’s career spans nearly five decades and encompasses contributions to ceramic studies, ethnoarchaeology, heritage management, and anthropological theory that have fundamentally shaped our understanding of East African prehistory.
