This project represents the first time arch- aeological investigations, combined with oral history and archival data, have been used to understand the Swa- hili-Arab legacy in the DRC. Keywords: DRC, Kasongo, nineteenth century, Swahili-Arab, oral history, colonialism Introduction During the nineteenth century, merchants from the coastal Swahili city-states developed a vast commercial network across Eastern Central Africa. These merchants, generally referred to as Swahili-Arab, were mainly trading in slaves and ivory destined for the Sultanate of Zan- zibar as well as the Indian Ocean trade ports (Vernet 2009). The network consisted of caravan tracks connecting Central Africa with the East African coast, and included a series of strong- holds, settlements and markets. As a result of this network, the populations of Eastern Cen- tral Africa adopted the customs of the coast such as the Swahili language, coastal dress and the practice of Islam, as well as new agricultural crops and farming techniques.
