KwaZulu-Natal Iron Age rockshelter ceramics

This project develops from an earlier project of mine which analysed pottery material using lipid residue analysis from 5 Early Iron Age sites in KZN. Here, I will produce comparable datasets to extend that research into the Later Iron Age and to different types of sites connected for foraging people. I intend to assess lipid remains from the Blackburn (i.e. early Later Iron Age) site, Mpambanyoni and from five rockshelter sites, to begin to assess forager-agriculturalist interactions during the Early and Later Iron Ages.
