Since I first reviewed the video "Inagina, Last House of Iron" I've always been fascinated by the African Iron Age, so when a new article showed up in the Journal of Archaeological Science by James Denbow on the Iron Age site of Bosutswe in Botswana, I just had to dig a little deeper.
The site is a long-occupied Toutswe Tradition village on the eastern edge of the Kalahari Desert... oh, go ahead, click on through to read about it.
