Mapping Africa’s Endangered Archaeological Sites and Monuments is hosted by the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge, which acts as the coordinating body and grant holder under the Principal Investigator, Professor Paul Lane.

The Co-Investigators in the project are a reflection of long-standing expertise in different regions of the continent: the British Institute in Eastern Africa (Jane Humphris); Université Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar (Ibrahima Thiaw); University College London (Kevin MacDonald); Uppsala University (Daniel Löwenborg); University of the Witwatersrand (Amanda Esterhuysen) and University of York (Stephanie Wynne-Jones). As the project develops, it will continue to form collaborations with national authorities and heritage bodies in Africa, and also draw upon the diverse expertise of researchers based at the different participating institutions in Africa, the UK and Europe. MAEASaM also benefits from the expertise of an international Advisory Board.
