Wits, 2050, Johannesburg, South Africa aut Social Complexity in Southern Africa [Elektronische Daten] [Thomas Huffman] Comprehensive evidence has shown that Mapungubwe was the centre of the first state in southern Africa. Recently, some archaeologists have argued that the distribution of artefacts, stone walling, and hilltop locations suggests multiple and earlier centres. A close examination of these data, however, does not support the claims. Counter evidence involving ceramics, rainmaking vs. residence, radiocarbon dates, and field data continues to support the temporal primacy of Mapungubwe and the Shashe-Limpopo Valley.
