Hi guys!!!
Thank you all!!! I explain better what I need (even if already your help is precious!!):
A dear friend of mine, and an archeologist collegue (his field of interest is the metallurgy of Bronze age in Italy), ask me if I can help him with this particular argument since in prehistoric and protohistoric periods we haven't any kind of written sources and so the only field of confrontation are ethnographic societies, and in africa there are closer and similar societies than we can compare with our prehistory.
So I think that it's interesting to see all (or at least the major numbers of different societies of africa): tuareg, congo tribes, south africa and so on... because we can see also different kind of societies (chiefdom, reigns, tribes).

Thank you again for your help
