This thesis addresses two main questions about the iron-using farming communities in northern Zimbabwe: when did they become established and how dd they. develop in space and time? New data is provided showing that fanning was practised in northern Zimbabwe by the 5th century AD, earlier than previously thought. During the first millennium AD, non-stratified farming communities cultivated crops, reared livestock and hunted and gathered. Small stock and cattle were few in number and hunting was import. ant for subsistence. Early in the 2nd millennium AD complex forms of socio-cultural organisation developed innorthern Zimbabwe as in most of southern Africa. The changes in social and political organisation, are accompanied by changes in settlement and crafts eg ceramic style and greater participation in external long distance trade. Rather than migration or diffusion, the changes depended upon the relationship between economy and ideology and specifically a shift from an ideology which emphasised equality to one which encouraged accumulation of wealth. The development of chiefdoms is associated with populations of the Musengezi Tradition who during the 14th century became subjects of the Mutapa state. This was a secondary state, resulting from the northwards expansion of the Great Zimbabwe Tradition. The relationship between landscape and culture specifically between archaeological sites, soils and vegetation is examined through field survey, Site Territorial Analysis (ST A) and GeographicaI Information Systems (GIS). Using archaeofaunas and other data, it is argued that climatic and environmental change in the research area from the period under investigation to the present was localised and minimal and it is therefore legitimate to infer the spatial behaviour of the prehistoric populations using observations of the current landscape.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. One of a series of texts this volume presents an overview study of the Swahili World, and the excavation of Kaole ruins. There is a chapter in French on the bi-partition of Swahili sites, taking the example of Gede. Three papers are on Zimbabwean archaeology, one of which presents findings from recent surveys in northern Zimbabwe and their contribution to an understanding of the cultural history and spatial experiences of pre-historic farming communities in the area. Other papers cover: the merits of using ceramics as material culture to interpret aspects of pre-historic human behaviour in Southern Africa; the history of glass beads and iron metallurgy across the region; and the effect of geo- environmental aspects on the location of sites on the central coast of Tanzania.
