The Zimbabwe Culture: Origins and Decline of Southern Zambezian States (African Archaeology Series)

Description

Offering a unique and original viewpoint on the upward thrust and fall of indigenous states of southern Zambezia, The Zimbabwe Culture analyzes the long contentious history of the remains of the remarkable cyclopean masonry, ranging from mighty capitals of traditional kings to humble farmsteads. Forming a cornerstone of the geographical lore of Africa within the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, debate at the origins, development, and collapse of the Zimbabwe culture has never ceased, and with increasing archaeological research over the 20th century, has develop into more complex. Thoroughly examining the growth and decline of pre-colonial states on all the Zimbabwean Plateau and southern Zambezia, Dr. Pikirayi has contributed tremendously towards the archaeological working out of this atypical culture. The Zimbabwe Culture is very important reading for all students and avocationalists of African archaeology, history, and culture.
