The TransArea Network Africa (TANA) supports the exchange of all projects of the German Archaeological Institute working in Africa. TANA networks the numerous individual projects of different departments and commissions of the DAI among each other and with the respective African partners, generates synergy effects in science, protection of cultural assets and education, and in the presentation of our work to a broad public.
