Deep in the heart of southern Africa, the ruins of a colossal stone
walled town bear silent testimony to an African way of life almost
forgotten ... Undisturbed since it was abandoned nearly two
centuries ago, Marothodi was the royal capital of a Tlokwa
chiefdom, the metal-producing ancestors of a community still living
in South Africa and Botswana. Using an interdisciplinary
combination of archaeology, history, ethnography and oral
tradition, the remarkable legacy of Marothodi and its people can
now be explored. Filled with the results of recent research and
over 170 maps, plans, photographs and illustrations, this book
introduces the historical archaeology of one of the great Iron Age
Tswana towns of South Africa, and tells a fascinating story of
pre-colonial African achievement.
