dc.description.abstract	More than three quarters of human history remains unwritten either buried underground or simply encoded in archaeological features and artefacts on the surface of the ground or underwater. Archaeology enables people to interpret and write history by using methods that allow them to decode information from material culture that was left millions of years ago and that which was discarded in recent historical times. Namibia has one of the longest recognisable sequences of archaeological evidence stretching from about 3 million years to the present; thus, the largest part of Namibian history is unwritten which leaves the task of documenting it to archaeologists. In Southern Africa in general written history is very recent compared to the length of time that humans have lived in this part of the continent.	en_US
