This volume presents nine papers from a conference concerning Jan Czekanowski (1882-1965), who made his name as the ethnographer in the expedition of Adolf Friedrich, Duke of Mecklenburg, to East Central Africa in 1907-8. In what are today Ruanda, western Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo he collected material artefacts and skulls, ethnographic and other information, as well as recording music and speech. After returning to Poland he published the results of his research (mainly in German) and, in the 1920s and 1930s, became a leading specialist in the physical anthropology of Central Europe.
