Poupées sur métapode de ruminant

In the study of faunal remains, ruminants’ metapodia deserve more attention. Thanks to the continuity of the occupational sequence on the upper Congo River, which connects the Classic Kisalian period (9th-13th century) to present day Luba, and on the basis of ethnographic parallels, it has been poss...
