Description
This report is based on field research conducted
at Njombe, southern Tanzania (Figure 1). The
field research focused on investigating the bio-metallurgy
of Bena ironworking and excavating Nundu
iron smithing site. The results for this study indicate
that while Bena iron workers were species-selective
during iron working and that Nundu is an incontrovertibly
smithing site in the southern highlands of
Tanzania.
