Africa has dispatched and received an extraordinary range of plants, animals and foodstuffs through Indian Ocean trade and other avenues. Here we explore these patterns of food globalisation vis-\u00e0-vis Africa, focusing in particular on the arrival of new food crops and domesticated animals in Africa, but also touching on flows from Africa to the broader Indian Ocean world. We look at archaeological evidence, drawing in particular on new datasets emerging through the increasing application of archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological methods in African and Indian Ocean archaeology, and also draw on historical and ethnographic sources. We argue that the evidence points to a broadly Medieval and post-Medieval pattern of introduction, with little evidence for the earlier arrivals or culinary impacts argued by some. We also undertake consideration of questions about how and why new crops, animals, spices, and agricultural and culinary technologies come to be accepted by African societies, issues that are often overlooked in the literature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>R\u00e9sum\u00e9<\/h4>\n<div itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>Bien que l\u2019Afrique soit parfois plac\u00e9e \u00e0 la p\u00e9riph\u00e9rie du monde de l\u2019oc\u00e9an Indien, les \u00e9tudes de la mondialisation alimentaire placent ce continent au centre de la sc\u00e8ne. L\u2019Afrique a export\u00e9 et re\u00e7u un extraordinaire \u00e9ventail de plantes, d\u2019animaux et de denr\u00e9es alimentaires \u00e0 travers le commerce de l\u2019oc\u00e9an Indien. Ici, nous explorons ces mod\u00e8les de mondialisation alimentaire. Plus particuli\u00e8rement, nous nous concentrons sur l\u2019arriv\u00e9e de nouvelles cultures alimentaires et d\u2019animaux domestiques en Afrique, et examinons les flux au d\u00e9part de l\u2019Afrique vers le reste du monde de l\u2019oc\u00e9an Indien. Nous pr\u00eatons attention aux sources arch\u00e9ologiques, et passons notamment en revue les nouvelles donn\u00e9es g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9es par l\u2019application croissante des m\u00e9thodes arch\u00e9obotaniques et arch\u00e9ozoologiques en Afrique et dans l\u2019oc\u00e9an Indien. Nous nous appuyons \u00e9galement sur les sources historiques et ethnographiques. Nous soutenons que ces donn\u00e9es sugg\u00e8rent que ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments furent introduits largement au cours des p\u00e9riodes m\u00e9di\u00e9vales et postm\u00e9di\u00e9vales, et que peu de preuves pointent vers des arriv\u00e9es ant\u00e9rieures. Nous explorons \u00e9galement comment et pourquoi ces nouvelles cultures, esp\u00e8ces animales, \u00e9pices et technologies agricoles et culinaires furent accept\u00e9es par les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s africaines, des questions que la litt\u00e9rature arch\u00e9ologique a souvent tendance \u00e0 n\u00e9gliger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boivin, N., Crowther, A., Prendergast, M. &amp; Fuller, D.Q. 2014.
