Angoche: an Important Link of the Zambezian Gold Trade Introduction
Angoche: An important link of the Zambezian gold trade CHRISTIAN ISENDAHL ‘Of the Moors of Angoya, they are as they were: they ruin the whole trade of Sofala.‘ Excerpt from a letter from Duarte de Lemos to the King of Portugal, dated the 30th of September, 1508 (Theal 1964, Vol. I, p. 73). Introduction During the last decade or so a significant amount of archaeological research has been devoted to the study of early urbanism along the east African coast. In much, this recent work has depended quite clearly upon the ground-breaking fieldwork conducted by James Kirkman and Neville Chittick in Kenya and Tanzania during the 1950´s and 1960´s. Notwithstanding the inevitable and, at times, fairly apparent shortcomings of their work and their basic theoretical explanatory frameworks, it has provided a platform for further detailed studies and rendered a wide flora of approaches to the interpretation of the source materials in recent studies. In Mozambique, however, recent archaeological research has not benefited from such a relatively strong national tradition of research attention. The numerous early coastal settlements lining the maritime boundaries of the nation have, in a very limited number, been the target of specialized archaeological fieldwork and analysis only for two decades. The most important consequence has been that research directed towards thematically formulated archaeological questions has had to await the gathering of basic information through field surveys and recording of existing sites as well as the construction and perpetual analysis and refinement of basic chronostratigraphic sequences. Furthermore, the lack of funding, equipment and personnel – coupled with the geographical preferentials of those actually active – has resulted in a yet quite fragmented archaeological database of early urbanism in the country. -
Part 4: Regional Development Plan
PART 4: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Chapter 1 Overall Conditions of the Study Area The Study on Upgrading of Nampula – Cuamba Road FINAL REPORT in the Republic of Mozambique November 2007 PART 4: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Chapter 1 Overall Conditions of the Study Area 1.1 Existing Conditions of the Study Area The Study area consists of the two provinces of Niassa and Nampula. The total length of the Study road is approximately 350 km. In this chapter, overall conditions of the study area are described in order to prepare a regional development plan and to analyze economic, social and financial viability. The Nacala Corridor, which extends to Malawi through the Nampula and Niassa Provinces of Mozambique from Nacala Port, serves as a trucking route that connects northern agricultural zones with important cities and/or towns. In the rainy season, which is from November to April, the region has a high rainfall ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 mm. As the Study road is an unpaved road, it is frequently impassable during the rainy season, affecting the transportation of crops during this period. Looking at the 3 regions in Mozambique, results of the economic performance study conducted by UNDP over the period under analysis continue to show heavy economic concentration in the southern region of the country, with an average of about 47% of real production as can be seen in Figure 1.1.1. Within the southern region, Maputo City stands out with a contribution in real terms of about 20.8%. The central region follows, with a contribution of 32%, and finally, the northern region with only 21% of national production. -
