Archaeological and Historical Reconstructions of the Foraging and Farming Communities of the Lower Zambezi. From the mid Holocene to the second Millennium AD. 198 pp. Uppsala: Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. ISBN 978-91-506-2488-5. In this thesis I combine new archaeological surveys and excavations together with the historical and ethnographic sources, to construct a long term settlement history and historical ecology of the lower Zambezi River valley and delta region, in Mozambique. The evidence presented indicates that people have settled in the area since the Late Stone Age, in total eight new archaeological sites have been located in archaeological surveys. Two sites have been excavated in the course of this thesis work, Lumbi and Sena, each representing different chronological phases. Lumbi has a continuous settlement from the Late Stone Age (LSA) to Early Farming Communities (EFC). In this thesis I suggest that Lumbi represents a phase of consolidation which resulted in the amalgamation of LSA communities into the EFC complex around the first centuries AD. Meanwhile, Sena has evidence of both EFC and Late Farming Community (LFC) occupation. The research in Sena provides new evidence of trade and trade networks from the mid second millennium AD and also of the Afro-Portuguese interactions. With these investigations, it is now possible to better understand an area which for a long time has been neglected. The lower Zambesi River valley and delta presents a vast cultural and archaeological heritage which needs conservation work and extended programs of research.

I am immensely grateful to Professor Paul Sinclair for his encouragement and support in the preparation of this thesis, as well as in creating the conditions making it possible. And to Dr Karl-Johan Lindholm I express my deepest gratitude for tireless reading and commenting, organisation and language correction. Without these two personalities this thesis would not be possible. I would like to thank my best friend Professor Innocent Pikirayi for his valuable comments in the thesis, language correction and important considerations about my research at the delta of Zambezi River. I’m deeply grateful to Professor Kjel Knutsson for his help in the flake analyses. A big thanks goes to my family, especially my wife Atalia da Felicidad Chingano and my children Francisco Kiassy Madiquida, Hilario Kiassy Madiquida and David Kinley Hilario, who always supported me and prayed for God to illumine my mind and supported the long months of my absence; to my brothers Francisco Kiassy Madiquida, Josepine Henrique Madiquida, Ernesto Kiassy Madiquida and Rafael Kiassy Madiquida for their moral support and encouragement for me to continue with this training. To my parents, Kiassy Madiquida and Sartina Mwankongue, I can’t find appropriate words to express my gratitude for the support and for always being present to get me up when I'm dropped on the floor. I appreciate the freedom they gave me to explore the world alone, I thank you for your lap that is always available for me to wipe my tears when I'm sad. Thank you for everything you have done for me and for your teaching; you are my true heroes. A special thanks goes to my colleagues and friends who have supported me directly or indirectly, in particular Margarida Inocêncio de Melo who always supported me and gave me joy in sad moments, to Professor Gerhard Liesegang, Professor Alexandre Mate, Dr. Ricardo Teixeira Duarte, Dr. Solange Macamo, Leonardo Adamowicz, Decio Muianga, Mussa Raja, Albino Jopela, Omar Madime, Hamilton Matsimbe, Jossias Humbana, Marta Langa and Katia Filipe for their encouragement, and help in the organisation and support in lecturing, Professor Alexandre Mate for his support in bureaucratic matters and and all departmental colleagues for their moral and practical support during my training. Special thanks are due to Swedish colleagues, particularly Docent Anneli Ekblom and Dr Michel Notelid for reading, comments and correction of the text; on editorial work, illustrations and data analysis, and to Elisabet Green for logistical support. I would also wish to thank the Joaquim Miguel for his aid in the excavations and topographical surveys; Francisco Sorte and Sansão Nhantumbo for drawings of the ceramics and maps, secretaries Dona Amelia Anta Profirio, Etelvina Covane, Claudina Cossa and deceased Alzira, drivers Jacinto Salvador Tovela and deceased Tomas Paulo Manjate. 5 I am deeply grateful to SIDA (Swedish International Development Agency), Swedish Embassy in Maputo and ISP for their support and funding the research and this publication.

    Amerigo Vespucci: The Historical Context of His Explorations and Scientific Contribution Pietro Omodeo 8 The Portuguese Second Fleet Under the Command of Álvares Cabral Crosses the Atlantic and Reaches India (1500-1501) Summary 8.1 On the Way to India the Portuguese Second Fleet Stops Over in Porto Seguro. – 8.2 Cabral’s Fleet Reaches India. 8.1 On the Way to India the Portuguese Second Fleet Stops Over in Porto Seguro In Portugal, King Manuel, having evaluated the successes achieved and er- rors made during the voyage of the First Fleet (or First Armada), quickly organised the voyage of the Second Fleet to the East Indies. On March 9, 1500, this fleet of thirteen ships, i.e. four caravels and nine larger vessels, carrying a total of 1,400 men (sailors, soldiers and merchants), set sail from Lisbon. Two ships were chartered, one from the Florentines Bartolomeo Marchionni and Girolamo Sernigi, the other from Diogo da Silva, Count of Portalegre. The 240-ton flagshipEl Rey and ten other ships were equipped with heavy artillery and belonged to the Crown. The fleet was under the command of the young nobleman Pedro Álvar- es Cabral (1467-1520) and its mission was to reach the markets of the In- dian Ocean. For this reason, no expense had been spared in equipping the ships; in addition to the artillery they carried a large amount of money and goods for exchange (mainly metals: lead, copper and mercury), and many glittering gifts to be distributed, created by refined artisans. King Manuel remembered Vasco da Gama’s humiliation over the small size of his ships and gifts, and intended to present himself on the eastern markets as a great king whose magnificence could rival that of the Indian princes.

Mozambique is rich in natural resources, is biologically and culturally diverse, and has a tropical climate. Its extensive coastline, fronting the Mozambique Channel, which separates mainland Africa from the island of Madagascar, offers some of Africa’s best natural harbours. These have allowed Mozambique an important role in the maritime economy of the Indian Ocean, while the country’s white sand beaches are an important attraction for the growing tourism industry. Fertile soils in the northern and central areas of Mozambique have yielded a varied and abundant agriculture, and the great Zambezi River has provided ample water for irrigation and the basis for a regionally important hydroelectric power industry.

  • Archaeological Reconnaissance in Cabo Delgado Province, Northern Mozambique
    Northwards from Sofala: Archaeological Reconnaissance in Cabo Delgado Province, Northern Mozambique Nathan Anderson 1 1 Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, Exeter United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Abstract: Visits made to archaeological sites in Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique, in early 2018 revealed a landscape rich in relatively under-researched cultural heritage, some of which is threatened by growing Islamic insurgency. Archaeological reconnaissance was conducted by the author to determine which sites were best suited to serve as case studies for his PhD research into the Islamisation of northern Mozambique. This pre-survey prioritized previously recorded Swahili sites in the southern Quirimbas Archipelago, namely on the islands of Ibo, Matemo, and Quirimba, as well as a cluster of sites on Cape Delgado, M’buizi and Tungi. However, possible new sites were documented during the visits to Cape Delgado and are detailed below. All locales visited contained artefacts dating primarily to the mid-second millennium AD, but absolute chronologies have not been determined as most of the sites visited have not been adequately examined. A dearth of cultural heritage protection schemes in the far northern region of Mozambique leaves conspicuous archaeological remains vulnerable to opportunistic looting and intentional damaging. Instances of both types of destruction were observed by the author in 2018. KEYWORDS: Archaeology, East Africa, Islam, Mozambique, Swahili HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Anderson, N. 2020.

Regardless the downgrade of the red alert, all actions to support people affected by the floods in Zambézia would continue and tied vigilance on the climatic conditions as we still in the rainy and cyclone season.
