An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

People first began to be interested in Malawi's prehistoric past in the 1920s. Excavations of sites in nearby countries, Tanzania and Zambia, made archaeologists believe that they may find the same type of material culture in Malawi. In the 1920s, a series of lacustrine deposits was found at the northwest end of Lake Malawi. These beds contained fragmentary fossils and were mapped by Dr. F. Dixey. These findings sparked an interest to excavate more locations in Malawi.

  • People first began to be interested in Malawi's prehistoric past in the 1920s. Excavations of sites in nearby countries, Tanzania and Zambia, made archaeologists believe that they may find the same type of material culture in Malawi. In the 1920s, a series of lacustrine deposits was found at the northwest end of Lake Malawi. These beds contained fragmentary fossils and were mapped by Dr. F. Dixey. These findings sparked an interest to excavate more locations in Malawi. (en)
  • L'archéologie au Malawi est peu développée. Les fouilles ont cependant permis de mettre au jour une mandibule très ancienne d'un Homo rudolfensis et plusieurs sites permettant de témoigner de l'occupation humaine depuis l'âge de la pierre. Le complexe de Chongoni, inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, est remarquable par ses peintures rupestres mais aussi par la continuité culturelle dont il témoigne, depuis le Later Stone Age (Paléolithique supérieur) jusqu'à l'époque contemporaine.
