The focus of this paper is on the functional and stylistic aspects of pottery from Nyungwe, a Dambwa Facies site in northern Botswana, showing the contrast between coarse kitchenware and finely crafted serving dishes and highlighting the remarkable degree of design variation present. The place of Nyungwe within the Shongwe Group and the spread of this cultural group along the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers and beyond are both discussed and a riverine adaptation indicated. Contacts with neighbours on the plateaux to the south in Zimbabwe and to the north in Zambia are examined and an attempt is made to understand the nature of this contact as far as this is visible in the ceramic data
