Kilwa Kisiwani - Medieval Trade Center of Africa

I wrote this article on Kilwa, geeze, years ago, but it continues to get pretty good traffic. So, I thought, in honor of Black History Month, I'd get it out, dust it off and take a look at it again. With a pretty groovy 16th century map from the Historic Cities Project at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I'd seen their website before, but had forgotten just how useful it is!
