DESCRIPTION:Moynihan Institute Of Global Affairs and MASU welcomes Dr. Samu
 el N. NkumbaanMy talk focuses\non Tando Fagusa\, a 6th to 10th Century AD 
 site in Northern Ghana. The site\ncontains unique anthropomorphic and zoom
 orphic terracotta figurines alongside\nother archaeological materials. The
 se are suggestive of precursors to social\ncomplexity prior to the period 
 of contact with the Saharan World. Tando Fagusa\nhas multiple mounds\, whi
 ch have been identified as characteristic of settlement\nand “stone circle
 ” mounds. Some research interprets the stone circle mounds as\nburials or 
 shrines\, but I propose that this is far from conclusive\, and I\ninterrog
 ate this hypothesis through comparative data from other settlement\nmounds
 .\n\nDr. Samuel N.\nNkumbaan is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor a
 t the University of\nRochester. He earned his B.A.\, MPhil\, and PhD degre
 es at the University of\nGhana where he is a lecturer in the Department of
