| We don't have that many samples from the African continent
— check that out at our countrylist —, but what we have
makes clear that Ethiopia stands apart.
Up until now, we have no other sign from Africa showing this design: a man holding a spadeful of earth
and no sand heaps in the picture.
This way of doing is almost exclusively restricted
to Central- and South-America with, e.g., a find from Portugal
and another from Indonesia as the proverbial exceptions.
(see Argentina for some other observations about the
number of heaps). |
