We, African Archaeologists, Who Do We Serve? by Alexis ADANDE Retired archaeologist and ordinary member of WAAA/AOAA   First of all, I acknowledge with gratitude the opportunity given to me by the Executive Board of WAAA/AOAA and the local organizing Committee to be part of the trio of keynote speakers at the opening of the XV th colloquium of our Association.

We also know that it is the same rule for the historians with the facts and the chronology.
