Gogo Falls is a multi-component open site located in the eastern Lake Victoria basin (fig. 1). The sequence of occupation horizons at the site spans several millennia during which a number of major technological and economic changes occurred. These include the first appearance of pottery, domestic animals and iron artefacts. Several cultural traditions, recognised on the basis of pottery and stone artefact assemblages, are represented in the deposits at Gogo Falls. Therefore, Gogo Falls is of paramount importance to the reconstruction of the later prehistory of the eastern portion of the Lake Victoria basin. This paper is the final site report on excavations at Gogo Falls in late 1983. It presents descriptions ofthe excavations, stratigraphy and dating, together with the results of the analyses of all the artefacts. Specialist reports, in some cases preliminary, are appended on the faunal and floral remains.
