Alfred Burdon Ellis

Alfred Burdon Ellis (1852–1919) was a British colonial officer and anthropologist born in England. His extensive work in West Africa, particularly among the Tshi-speaking peoples of the Gold Coast (present-day Ghana), contributed significantly to the understanding of coastal West African cultures and societies. Ellis's background in administration and his anthropological interests allowed him to document and analyze the social, political, and linguistic aspects of the communities he studied.
