By Lorna Likiza

In continuation of Part 1 o be more specific, the purpose of Prof. Kusimba’s project at Gede Ruins is to Testablish why the inhabitants of the ancient Swahili city left the place and when they left. “We have opened up three trenches.” He explains. One of the trenches was what welcomed me to the site and is just outside The North Gate. The second trench is where I found the professor seated and which ended up dominating our discussion due to its significance. And the third trench is further inside past the previously Kirkman excavated historical site. The second trench has been dug between two walls of the city and is what I quickly learned is called a middel. A middel is an area where all the rubbish is dumped. “When the city is slowly losing its economic age and people are getting poorer, they start throwing their rubbish into the middel and the rubbish is not picked up.” Prof. Kusimba elaborates. Hence the reason why he is interested in this area is because of what is likely to be found in the trench such as food, seeds and the likes. “Middels are very sensitive because pollen preserves really well. We are hence collecting soil samples from each of these levels going all the way down.” He continues. The collected soil samples will then be studied to see if any grass cuticles, pollen remains, snail shells or any micro-fauna such as small mammals like rats trenches. He additionally plans can be recovered. This will help to archaeology because they site and it collects over time.” The on investigating wells to recover in trying to establish the reasons tell a lot about people’s reach. professor acknowledges. any evidence of contamination for the eventual abandonment of As a result of their affordability It is at the middel where tree of the water, pit latrines for the city through a deeper look at and portability, anyone can species that are no longer found evidence of disease in faecal the ecological history of the site. afford them and they can be in the area can be traced through matter and tombs to understand “We have since gone through sold to anyone.
