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. Downloaded by Corona Virus () lOMoARcPSD|
, CUS3701 ASSESSMENT 03/2024 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 also evidence of early gold smelting. A large number of artifacts from
the royal family were discovered at Mapungubwe. The best known of these
objects is the golden rhinoceros. All in all, the amount of gold from this burial
amounted to 7 503 ounces. Greefswald farm remained the property of the State
from the 1930s. Management of the farm was taken over by the provincial
Department of Nature Conservation in 1992 and control was transferred to
SANParks in 1999. Mapungubwe was declared a World Heritage Site by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in July 2003.
