About

I am an African archaeologist who studies African preindustrial civilizations. I have specializations in ceramics, glass beads, archaeometallurgy and heritage studies. My work blends conventional material culture studies and archaeometallurgical analyses to explore the history, innovations and technological of African societies in southern Africa. I draw liberally from African theory and my lived experience as a product of a crafting rural Tsonga family from Zimbabwe.
