About the Book

The ancient site of Begho in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana is potentially one of the most important sites in that country. It was a town which had considerable importance as an entrepôt from the Middle Ages until its abandonment - perhaps in the eighteenth century and there is more information about it from historical sources than from most towns in West Africa of similar date. Mr. Crossland's study of the pottery from an area excavated at Begho will greatly help in understanding the archaeology and provide useful comparisons with pottery of other places.
