The ivory trade has been an important part of human history, as it provided currencies for exchange and a major contributor to the spread of specialized pastoralism. The amount of ivory extracted from East Africa was not known until the 19th century, but it was highly valued article imported to Egypt from Nubia more than 4000 years ago. After the fall of the Roman empire, there was a period of decline in trade which was reversed at the end of the first millennium when Arab and Persian ships began to trade on the coast. Recently, glass beads, cowrie shells and worked ivory from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries were excavated in Bunyoro in eastern Uganda, indicating an early wide extension of the ivory trade. The caravan trade also stimulated slave trade in Namibia and Tanzania. The ruler of Usambara, Semboja, hired professional Kamba hunters to obtain ivory during the price boom in the 1880s. The impact of trade on environmental agriculture and cattle-keeping is discussed, as well as the contextual factors that influenced the relationship. The East African ivory trade has had a significant impact on human ecology in eastern Africa, both direct and indirect. The Kamba were the dominant ivory traders in the central part of the East African interior from the end of the 1700s, expanding their trading networks from Lake Turkana in the north to Kilimanjaro in the south. The Ulu men and women leaders of villages that supplied a large portion of porters and hunters were not directly involved in the ivory trade, but the Kitui traders spent considerable time maintaining social relationships with them. The natural patterns of ecological change that took place in the nineteenth century were the result of an unprecedented upsurge in ivory hunting and trade. The ivory trade is illustrative of the need to include trade in so-called prestige goods in examining the relationship between world-system processes and ecology.
