Prehistoric Man: In The Ciskei & Transkei is the result of Robin Derricourt's work in the field from 1971 to 1973 when he directed the first systematic programme of archaeological research in the Ciskei and Transkei - the border region in early South African history where different societies met for the first time both peacefully and in violent conflict. The results of these studies, presented in this volume, add significantly to the understanding of the prehistory of the region and the events that preceded its entry into the wider history of the subcontinent.
