Abstract/Overview

An investigation into the distribution, design and origins of 'Gunda-Buche' -the Luo term for the bank-and-ditch enclosures unique to the northern Nyanza region of western Kenya. No archaeological work had been undertaken on these structures prior to this study. Pressure for land means these unique sites are now fast disappearing.

Subject/Keywords
Bank-and-ditch enclosures; Bondo District; Ceramic analysis; Earthwork studies; Gunda-Buche structural survey; Luo traditions and oral traditions
