Understanding Cultural Landscape at Great Zimbabwe

A groundbreaking approach to understanding the cultural landscape of Great Zimbabwe reveals how African knowledge systems challenge Western archaeological narratives. By integrating Karanga/Kalanga cosmology and philosophy, the study decolonializes archaeology, exposing the impact of colonial legislation on heritage interpretation. It demonstrates that landscapes hold collective memory beyond human recollection, emphasizing the role of indigenous perspectives in shaping cultural identity. This work bridges African and Western debates, advocating for diverse knowledge systems to reform archaeological practices and heritage management in Africa.
