“…The Urewe ceramic culture dominated the Great Lakes region of Africa from at least 500 bc to ad 800 (Ashley, 2010; Clist, 1987; Giblin, 2013; Giblin, Clement, & Humphris, 2010; Van Grunderbeek, 1992). Consisting of small, settled communities, the people who made and used Urewe ceramics are believed to have been amongst the first farmers in the region, practicing a subsistence agriculture based on millet, cowpea and sorghum with livestock rearing that likely included cattle, goats and sheep (Crowther, Prendergast, Fuller, & Boivin, 2018; Giblin & Fuller, 2011; Van Grunderbeek & Roche, 2007).…”
