Abstract

Excavations at Mbabane Shelter and eSinhlonhlweni Shelter in the central Thukela Basin are reported. Both these sites postdate 2000 BP. The results of a lithic surface collection at Isifuthu Shelter are presented. These data are then brought together along with existing information on farming communities of the area in a discussion on the recent hunter-gatherer history of the central Thukela Basin.
