Archaeology in Southern Africa – H.C. Woodhouse

Description

“The fossiled man-apes of Makapansgat, the might of Monomotapa. The gold rhinoceros of Mapungubwe, the painted eland of the Drakensberg. The hand-axes of the Earlier Stone Age, the ritual burials of the Later Stone Age. Cosmetic mines in Swaziland, gold mines in Rhodesia. These are just a few of the intriguing subjects covered by the lively account of archaeology and prehistory in Southern Africa.

From his practical fieldwork, his comprehensive reading and his personal acquaintance with most of the leading figures, Bert Woodhouse has compiled an absorbing story. It is written for the general reader and is illustrated with the author’s own photographs.”
