What are those spots in central and south Eastern Africa?
Byzantine material? Western Africa is Kissi, Burkina Faso, and eastern Africa is Zanzibar etc — full details and links in post :)

Dr Caitlin Green added,

Good luck, I fear the coverage there of these areas (and incorporation of recent research) isn't great, but still worth a look! :)
