ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We thank all of our collaborators on the TZAM project for their assistance with the search for external funding, assistance in the field, support with publishing results, and access to historical collections. First and foremost, without our local colleagues in Tanzania and Zambia, including M. Abdalla, C. Chipote, A. Goulding, P. Menke J. Museba, K. Mwamulowe, L. Nampunju, C. Saanane, M. Salehe, and A. Tibaijuka, the TZAM project would never have been possible. S. Tolan (Chipembele Wildlife Trust) deserves special recognition for facilitating our work in Zambia. His dedication to exploring and preserving the natural history of Zambia is truly remarkable. In addition, we thank the people of the Ruhuhu, Luangwa, and Zambezi valleys, who have graciously allowed our team to live and work among them since 2007, and who care for the land and its magnificent prehistory. K. Angielczyk, N. Barbolini, C. Beightol, J. Fortner, J. Lungmus, S. Olroyd, B. Peecook, W. Simpson, R. Smith, S. Steyer, M. Stocker, N. Tabor, L. Tsuji, and R. Whatley have been excellent collaborators in the field and P. Barrett, R. Butler, S. Chapman, M. Lowe, and Z. Skosan provided access to or expertise on historical collections. While developing this memoir, C.A.S. has been supported by NSF EAR-1337569 and S.J.N. has been supported by NSF EAR-1337291 (administered by K. Angielczyk). Sources of support for field work and museum visits are noted in the individual papers.
