Abstract
The North Pare Hills of north-eastern Tanzania are relatively rich in Iron Age archaeological sites which show relationships to those previously described from the South Pare Hills. The site at Usangi Hospital provides interesting evidence of the contemporary use in the second half of the first millennium A.D. of two different pottery types, Kwale ware and Maore ware, which occur separately in the South Pares. Surface collections from other sites support this association and provide evidence of other prehistoric groups inhabiting this area, probably at a rather later date.Keywords
