QUESTION 1 Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow.

MAPHUNGUBWE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE The ancient city of Mapungubwe

(meaning “hill of the jackal”) is an Iron Age archaeological site in the Limpopo

province on the border between South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, 75

km from Messina. It sits close to the point where the Limpopo and Shashe

Rivers meet. One thousand years ago, Mapungubwe appears to have been

the centre of the largest known kingdom in the African sub-continent. The

civilization thrived as a sophisticated trading centre from around 1200 to 1300

AD, trading gold and ivory with China, India and Egypt. The site was

“discovered” on 31 December 1932, when a local informant, Mowena, led

E.S.J. van Graan (farmer and prospector), his son and three others to

Greefswald farm on Mapungubwe Hill. On the hill, they noticed stone walls

and on closer inspection, they recovered gold and iron artifacts, pottery and

glass beads. Van Graan's son recognised the academic value of the site and

contacted the head of the Department of History at the University of Pretoria,

Professor Leo Fouché. As a result of his intervention, the University

negotiated with the owner of the property, E.E. Collins. In a legal agreement,

the University took ownership of the gold and other artifacts and secured an

option and a contract for excavation rights. The University also successfully

, requested a postponement of prospecting, mining and related activities on

Greefswald. In June 1933, Greefswald was bought by the Government and

excavation rights were granted to the University of Pretoria. The University

established an Archaeological Committee, which from 1933 to 1947 oversaw

research and excavations (read more about the excavations). Mapungubwe

Hill is 300 m long, broad at one end, tapering at the other. It is only accessible

by means of two very steep and narrow paths that twist their way to the

summit, and yet 2 000 tons of soil have been artificially transported to the very

top by a prehistoric people of unknown identity. Archaeological enquiry

uncovered the remnants of numerous dwellings, which had been built on the

ruins of predecessors over many generations, resulting in a series of

habitation phases. Radiocarbon dates show that the first buildings were

erected below the hill at the beginning of the 11th century AD. But adjacent to

Mapungubwe is the sister site of Bambandyanalo, which was settled even

earlier. It seems that the centre of the state shifted from Bambandyanalo to

Mapungubwe Hill in about 1045 AD, when the town most probably became

overcrowded. It was also at about this time that hills and mountains became

associated with royalty and the noble classes began to build their structure on

high ground. This is an important observation as it provided evidence of the

extensive wealth and social differentiation of the people of Mapungubwe; in

other words, this ancient civilization was class based. The gold findings are
