Built on diversity: Statehood in Medieval Somaliland (12th-16th centuries AD)

Abstract

[ES] This article aims to provide an overview of Muslim medieval archaeology in the Horn of Africa, emphasising the role of medieval states that for more than three centuries were able to integrate populations with very different beliefs, lifestyles, languages and ethnicities. The study combines historical and archaeological sources to analyse the specific case of West Somaliland, a region where sedentary and nomadic groups with very different material cultures lived together for centuries. Analysis of relations between these two groups puts forward a proposal on how Muslim states were able to provide a stable and cohesive framework for the region throughout the Middle Ages.
