Quite a number of people have facilitated the successful completion of this thesis. However, due to limited space it is impossible to name them all. Special tribute goes to the University of Nairobi, and particularly, the Department of History for granting me the opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies in Archaeology. I wish to thank the members of the Department of History starting with the Chairman, Professor Milcah A. Acholla and Professor Vincent G. Simiyu for their great concern and encouragement. 1 am particularly grateful to Professor Henry W. Mutoro whose moral support and supervisory duty has seen me through this scholarly work. His financial support enabled the production of this thesis. Mr. Gilbert K. Wafula, my Supervisor, deserves special mention for his sense of duty. Special thanks go to Dr. Ephraim Wahome and Mr. David M. Kyule for their ideas and positive criticism. I owe thanks to the National Museums of Kenya, especially to its Director General Dr. George O. Abungu, for financing the entire fieldwork without which this work would not have been possible. I am indebted to Dr. Paul Lane of thj; British Institute in East Africa for his ideas and library resources. His conceptual understanding of the problem of cultural resources management practice in Africa was very relevant to this work. I wish to record my gratitude to my father and mother whose dedication and tireless devotion to my education has enabled the production of this work. The Office of the President deserves appreciation for issuing me a research permit that allowed timely commencement of the fieldwork. My companion, Hannah Chao, deserves mention for her encouragement towards my academic career.

  • Lake Turkana Archaeology: the Holocene
    Lake Turkana Archaeology: The Holocene Lawrence H. Robbins, Michigan State University Abstract. Pioneering research in the Holocene archaeology of Lake Turkana con- tributed significantly to the development of broader issues in the prehistory of Africa, including the aquatic civilization model and the initial spread of domes- ticated livestock in East Africa. These topics are reviewed following retrospective discussion of the nature of pioneering fieldwork carried out in the area in the1960s. The early research at Lake Turkana uncovered the oldest pottery in East Africa as well as large numbers of bone harpoons similar to those found along the Nile Valley and elsewhere in Africa. The Lake Turkana area remains one of the major building blocks in the interpretation of the later prehistory of Africa as a whole, just as it is a key area for understanding the early phases of human evolution. Our way had at first led us up hills of volcanic origin. I can’t imagine landscape more barren, dried out and grim. At 1.22 pm the Bassonarok appeared, an enormous lake of blue water dotted with some islands. The northern shores cannot be seen. At its southern end it must be about 20 kilometers wide. As far as the eye can see are barren and volcanic shores. I give it the name of Lake Rudolf. (Teleki 1965 [1886–95]: 5 March 1888) From yesterday’s campsite we could overlook nearly the whole western and north- ern shores of the lake. The soil here is different again. I observed a lot of conglom- erates and fossils (petrification).

ABSTRACT AN ADVENTIST MISSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO TRADITIONAL BELIEFS IN KENYA by Festus F. Gumbo Advisor: Bruce Bauer ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: AN ADVENTIST MISSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO TRADITIONAL BELIEFS IN KENYA Name of researcher: Festus Felix Gumbo Name and degree of faculty advisor: Bruce L. Bauer, D.Miss. Date completed: May 2008 Problem Seventh-day Adventist Christians in Kenya struggle to practice pure biblical teaching because many still practice African traditional beliefs. Many traditional beliefs are inconsistent with biblical teachings. This problem has contributed to syncretism that has weakened the Adventist message in Kenya. Many of the church members follow traditional beliefs because they fear to be condemned by members in society. The traditional belief that says a dead person continues to live and can communicate with the family is still strongly supported by many people in Kenya.
