Interest in land snails and their roles among contemporary East African communities arose as the result of two archaeological activities: 1) a systematic survey of 44 km2 of the landscape, during which living land snails, deceased land snails, and fragments of land snail shell were found on the surface of scores of Holocene Epoch archaeological sites and 2) excavations at two iron-using, farming (also known as “Iron Age”) archaeological sites: Kwa Mgogo and Gonja Maore (Figure 1).	cache/ebl-751.pdf	txt/ebl-751.txt
