- Summary:
- This research project presents an interpretation of faunal remains from two Middle Iron Age sites located in the northern part of the Limpopo region (South Africa). Mapungubwe was an important regional centre during the 13th century AD, while Mutamba was a small agro-pastoral settlement contemporary to the period of maximum hegemony of the capital, located at the southernmost limit of Mapungubwe influence. Some of the fauna from earlier excavations at Mapungubwe has been published previously, but this volume considers new material and - in part - re-examines earlier findings. In addition to the zooarchaeological analysis, ethnozooarchaeological research has been carried out in a Venda village. Furthermore, the published data concerning the Mapungubwe area of influence have been collected.
