Abstract
Dr. Roberts has been working on the oral history of the Bemba of Zambia. He is now Research Fellow in Oral History at the University College, Dar es Salaam. In this paper he examines crucial points bearing on the chronology of Zambian history, and puts in a plea for a similar re-examination of other supposed exact dates which are in circulation; a plea which we also would heartily support in respect of the early history of the coast as well as that of the interior.
