Archaeological Sites at Letsibogo Dam

Abstract

A preliminary survey, carried out by Alec Campbell in 1988 during the feasibility study for the dam, showed that there were indeed sites, and that in prehistoric times also, rivers were important considerations in the location of settlements. This preliminary survey was followed in 1993, during the design phase for the dam, by a detailed survey and archaeological impact assessment (Phase I) by Hanisch and van Waarden. A total of 127 sites have been recorded, some of which were occupied during several periods, bringing the total to 133 archaeological components. Table 1 gives an overview of the cultural periods represented and the distribution of sites within the dam and reservoir areas are shown in Figure 1 .
