Archaeological Investigation of Shinje Settlement Site, Northern Zimbabwe

Abstract

A Late Farming Community site belonging to the Musengezi tradition was excavated in 2007 as part of field research in partial fulfilment of the requirements of masters (Archaeology) program. Conducted under the auspices of African Archaeology Network, the field research took the form of survey, excavations, interviews and focus group discussions. Archaeological survey and excavations which shall be the focus of this paper, revealed a wealth of material culture pointing to the generational occupation of the site which may go as far back as Stone Age times.
