Great Zimbabwe
The Hunter's Vision
Approaches to the art the human image as archetype dancing and trancing paintings of potency gods and spirits animals in San belief and art emblems relationships between paintings
Archetypes and attributes
This paper seeks to establish the primacy of the image in the study of the prehistoric paintings of Zimbabwe and to show how detailed comparative iconographie analyses of a range of images may elucidate something of the significance of the art. It seeks to demonstrate that art was concerned with basic ideological concepts of the society, that the human imagery was concerned with the construction of a limited range of archetypes. Thus that the art…
Symbols of Potency in the Paintings of Zimbabwe
Themes in the prehistoric art of Zimbabwe
This impressionist survey of the rock art of Zimbabwe is set within a framework of San beliefs about dance, trance, trancers and their potency. It follows on the work of J. D. Lewis‐Williams in South Africa and seeks to extend his approach, using the Zimbabwean art. Among the major themes or motifs interpreted within this framework are large recumbent male figures, obese dancing figures, abstract oval designs, stippled areas and various represent…
Prehistory and Ideology in Zimbabwe
Opening ParagraphZimbabwe has adopted the name of the Shona state, centred on the city of Great Zimbabwe, which flourished between five and eight hundred years ago, and whose ruined stone walls are one of the most remarkable monuments in Africa. Great Zimbabwe was a considerable human achievement, evidence of the acquisition and management of a huge and docile labour force, of prolonged political stability and economic prosperity.When the British…
Primitive Government
Pastoralism and Zimbabwe
Excavations at the Zimbabwe (enclosure) of Manekweni, in southern coastal Mozambique, have shown that it belongs to the Zimbabwe Culture which was centred on the Rhodesian plateau. Occupation levels have been dated to between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. The faunal evidence indicates that a section of the population benefited from intensive beef production through transhumant pastoralism on the seasonally-fluctuating fringes of tsetse fl…
The Kingdoms of Africa
An Investigation of Manekweni, Mozambique
This article gives an account of the first British Institute project in Mozambique, carried out under the auspices of Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo. The site concerned is of particular interest, being among the earliest of the stone structures of the type known as mazimbabwe, and far distant from those previously recorded. It is not far from the coast, and its construction in limestone, as opposed to the usual granite, is also remarkable. M…

Rhodesian Ruins—a preliminary assessment of their styles and chronology
The results of archaeological work on ruins of the Zimbabwe–Khami complex in Rhodesia are reassessed in the light of recent work. In order to provide a preliminary framework for further archaeological investigation, the surface architectural features of a large group of these ruins are analysed, and seven different styles of ruin discerned. These are interpreted as belonging to at least two separate but related cultural groups, the first extendin…
The Value of Imported Ceramics in the Dating and Interpretation of the Rhodesian Iron Age
Since the start of archaeological investigation in Rhodesia, isolated sherds of imported Chinese ceramics have been found in the important Iron Age ruins of Zimbabwe, Khami and Dhlo Dhlo. More recently, abundant finds of both Chinese and European glazed wares have occurred in excavations of early Portuguese trading stations within Rhodesia. All such imports are here redescribed from an examination of the finds and from a detailed study of the ear…
Seventeenth Century Portuguese Earthworks in Rhodesia
The ‘Aringa’ at Massangano
In the nineteenth century the Portuguese government became engaged in a long struggle with the most powerful of the landowning families of the Zambezi—the famous prazo holders. Beginning as a domestic affair brought about by the weakness of the administration, the wars eventually developed into a struggle for the survival of even the vestiges of Portuguese rule on the Zambezi. The Portuguese government mounted nine expeditions before it was final…
