Urban Precursors in the Horn: Early 1st Millennium Communities in Eritrea

 

Urban Precursors in the Horn: Early 1st Millennium Communities in Eritrea:

The authors  highlight re­search showing that between 800 BC and 400 BC , the greater Asmara area of  Eritrea supported the earliest settled agro-pastoralist communi­ties known in the highlands of the Horn. These communities pre-date and are contemporane­ous with Pre-Aksumite settlements in the high­lands of southern Eritrea and northern Ethiopia.
