Breaking Ground
Precolonial Agricultural Terracing in Bokoni, South Africa
Earlier work on the terraced settlements of the Bokoni area (16 th to 19 th century, Mpumalanga province, South Africa) focussed on the homesteads, their contents, layout and chronology. This paper suggests a terminology and typology of agrarian structures in Bokoni in order to improve comparative approaches in Africa and beyond. The typology and an excavation of the terracing permit possible preliminary conclusions relevant for the further analy…
Site Distribution and Chronology at Soutpansklipheuwel, a Rocky Outcrop on the West Coast of South Africa
Archaeological research along the West Coast of South Africa has unveiled a diversity of Holocene adaptive strategies as shown by the different type, size, composition, and distribution of sites and their faunal and artifactual contents. Some differences and similarities are apparent between the northerly semi-desert of Namaqualand and the more central Lamberts Bay and Elands Bay areas. On first impression, this archaeological variability seems r…
Bokoni
This article demonstrates that the interdisciplinary research that has been conducted on Bokoni under the auspices of the 500 Year Initiative has had significant outcomes. We have created a more periodised account of the development of the settlements. Narrow and ethnically determined conceptions of identity have been subjected to critique and the notion that specific pottery forms are necessarily markers of specific cultures or linguistic units …

Hunter-Gatherer Child Burials from the Pakhuis Mountains, Western Cape
Neglected Rock Art
Examples of rock engravings by agriculturists have been known from various parts of South Africa for many years, but there has been no previous attempt to review the genre as a whole. This review establishes a clear link with communities who built extensive stone settlements in the last few centuries of the precolonial period. The subject matter and its treatment differentiates the art from the well known hunter-gatherer art of southern Africa an…

The Iron Age Sequence South of the Vaal and Pongola Rivers
The region south of the Vaal and Pongola rivers, being the southernmost on the continent to be settled by Bantu-speaking, Iron Age communities, is important in understanding the spread of these societies. Until recently, archaeological discussion has mostly been based on Schofield's work of the 1930s and 1940s, which is here shown to be substantially incorrect, and an outline of the new sequence is given. New work on the Early Iron Age in Natal i…
Nqabeni, a Later Iron Age Site in Zululand
Iron Age settlements of a previously undescribed type occur on the elevated plateau between the White Mfolozi and Mzinyathi (Buffalo) Rivers west of Babanango in Zululand. In this paper we examine the characteristic settlement at Nqabeni, offer a definition of its type and make some comparisons with historical and ethnological evidence

Some Recent Radiocarbon Dates from Eastern and Southern Africa
This Article follows in the series started by Fagan and continued for eastern and southern Africa by Phillipson, Sutton and Soper. The scope remains much the same, covering in time the later part of the Stone Age sequence as well as the Iron Age. Geographically, however, there are some changes: the Sudan has been excluded as it was covered by the recent review of North and West African dates, while a detailed chronological review of francophone C…
Iron age patterns and Sotho history on the southern Highveld
Recent work on Iron Age settlements in the Orange Free State and on Sotho traditional history has necessitated a radical revision of some earlier syntheses. With accurate data on location of historic sites, as well as chronological and ethnological controls, correlations between the historical and archaeological evidence are possible. There is an important dichotomy between the eastern settlements and those of the north‐west. The former represent…
