The Zimbabwe Culture – Ruins and Reactions – G Caton-Thompson

Description

Dr Randall – Mac Iver investigated the Zimbabwean ruins and inferred from the evidence of his finds that Zimbabwe could not be anterior to the fourteenth or fifteenth century A.D. In order to settle the problem the British Association in 1929 sent out Miss Caton-Thompson to make further archaeological investigation of the site. The present volume contains her fully documented and illustrated account of the work carried out at Zimbabwe and subsidiary sites, among them the Dhlo-Dholo and Mantendere and the conclusions reached. These indicate that the Zimbabwe civilizations African in origin, and may have arisen about the eighth or nineth centaury A.D
