Extract

Probably every one of the hundred or so delegates who attended the Third Pan-African Congress on Prehistory would agree that it would be hard to imagine a more successful meeting. The organization was perfect, the papers read were mostly of an exceptionally high standard, and throughout the congress and excursions an atmosphere of good humour prevailed. We have returned rather bewildered from the number of sites visited and the amount of new knowledge gained, but with the satisfactory feeling that African prehistory has made enormous strides since we last met in Algiers in 1952.
