Tl1e present note place$ that work in the context of a broader survey in that reJ!ion by a team from the University of Illinois at Urbana . Sally McBrearty is complttinJ! her thesis at Urbana, Dr Waane is with the·Tanzanian An­ tiquities, while Dr Wynn is on faculty at the University of Colorado. While this volume of A-zania was in press, we discovered that, as a result of some unexplained com­ munication problem, another version of this paper had appeared in Tanzania Notes and Records, 88/89 {for 1982), pp, 15-32 , At this late staJ!e and in view of various editorial amendments and reduction aJ!reed with the authors when the note was offered to Azania and accepted in JIOOd faith, we have decided not to delete it from our proofs. We are happy to have the aJ!ret~ment of the editors ofTNR to this. Normally, however, we would not carry an article or note already published or accepted elsewhere. The TNR version will be valuable to a number of readers for its illustration of stone artefacts. In 1976 we undertook an archaeological survey of portions of lleje, Kyela, Mbeya, Mbozi and Tukuyu Districts of Mbeya Region in southern Tanzania. As no formal archaeological reconnaissance of the region had previously been undertaken, our intention was to establish the general outlines of prehistoric occupation of the area.

Major issues and challenges include: The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is evolving, with new confirmed cases and deaths occurring. Genomic sequencing has confirmed that the North Kivu outbreak is unrelated to the one that occurred in Equateur Region, though both were caused by the same Ebola virus strain. This finding is important to inform the response to the outbreak, particularly the application of new tools such as vaccines and therapeutic medicines. The prime priority remains rapidly setting up effective response structures on the ground. Nonetheless, the prevailing insecurity in the affected province could influence several aspects of the response, including the model, strategy, timeliness, etc. Good progress has, so far, been made in the given circumstances.
