Abstract
The Chobi sector of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, is rich in archaeological material, particularly pottery, which litters the banks of the Victoria Nile. Three major pottery types are represented: Urewe ware belonging to the Early Iron Age and dated to the third century A.D.; a hitherto undescribed type designated Chobi ware, which is probably partly contemporary with and partly later than Urewe ware; and roulette decorated pottery of recent type. Late Stone Age lithic material is also common in the area but is not described in detail.Keywords
