The Lists of Phalaborwa Rulers: A Comparison of Variant ‘Fixed’ Sources
In this paper I discuss genealogical material documented in the past about the ruling families of Phalaborwa in the northeast Transvaal. Recent archeological research in Phalaborwa demonstrates a continuous Iron Age cultural complex in the area centered around Lolwe hill since the eighth century A.D. Subsequent investigations of Phalaborwa oral tradition clearly link the present BaPhalaborwa Sotho-speaking population with the Iron Age past, addin…
Nineteenth Century Settlement Sites and Related Oral Traditions from the Bungoma Area, Western Kenya
A survey of structural remains coupled with oral tradition sketches a picture of complicated socio-technical change during the 200 years preceeding the onset of British administration of Elgon-Nyanza in the 1890s. The development of forts enabled Bantu farmers to enter contested areas, once the domain of Nilotic pastoralists, in reasonable security. The broad adaptive pattern discernible from information at hand seems to be that of successful str…
Two Accounts of the Chetambe War of 1895
The Phalaborwa story: Archaeological and enthnographic investigation of a South African iron age group
An archaeological investigation of Iron Age sites in the Phalaborwa district, Transvaal, South Africa provides a chronological sequence which begins perhaps as early as the eighth century A.D., and can be positively documented from the tenth century to the late 1900s. A concurrent ethnographic investigation among the BaPhalaborwa, a Sotho group, provides conclusive evidence to link the tribe with the archaeological sequence, especially through th…
The Bantu "prophets" of Mount Elgon
Fort Sites of East Bukusu, Kenya
Mr. Scully, of the State University of New York, describes the numerous remains of fortified settlements in the area around the south of Mount Elgon. Built towards the end of the nineteenth century, they give us an insight into the troubled times in that part of Kenya. The information on which this article is based was collected during 1965–66 while he was a teacher at Kibabii Secondary School
