Kent Fowler

I specialize in archaeological and ethnoarchaeological research on ceramic technology and production by farming peoples in southern Africa. I have conducted research in Canada, Greece, the Near East, West Africa, and Eastern Africa. My research has focused on the Early Iron Age and modern and historically recent ceramic production by Nguni speakers in southeastern Africa. I am currently conducting research on early urbanism in the region, focusing on the organization and provisioning of nineteenth Zulu military homesteads.
