About This Book

The author records a two-year archaeological examination of a ruined stone complex in Mashonaland, offering field descriptions, measured plans, and numerous photographs and plates to document the elliptical temple, conical tower, acropolis, terraces, passages, and surrounding enclosures. The account combines on-site narrative of landscapes and interactions with local inhabitants, inventories of relics including carved soapstone objects, and systematic architectural analysis of walls, drains, patterns, and construction techniques. Organized into illustrated chapters, the work presents excavation results, detailed plans and measurements for individual enclosures and passages, and interpretive notes on the site's layout and probable functions.
