An introduction to the rock art of the Malilangwe Conservation Trust, southeastern Zimbabwe

David Phillipson: A Pan-African Archaeologist

“…Notwithstanding its emphasis on "eastern Africa," in two major projects during David's Presidency, BIEA funded extensive fieldwork south of the Zambezi in Zimbabwe, in the Nyanga Highlands (Soper, 2002) and on land owned by the non-profit Malilangwe Trust (Pearce, 2009;Swan, 2007;Thorp, 2009). I mention this because, as someone whose primary experience and focus lies precisely at the southern end of the African continent, David's 2015 guest editorial in the South African Archaeological Bulletin (Phillipson, 2015) holds special resonance.…”
