More images from the sacred site of Nfungeni

Here are two more images from that sacred area near Nfungeni. On this rocky outcropping are many sites that the Swazis have used as sources for stories and history.

QUESTION: What do you think the Swazis see in the image at the left?

And, in the image below, what you see are pottery sherds left between rocks, near where Swazis in the past cooked. The guide told us that women worked in several areas on the outcropping, and there are still pot sherds and lots of debitage (stone flakes from making projectile points).


As noted in another post, I expressed my enthusiasm for creating a cultural heritage site that the local people care for by leading guided tours and keeping all proceeds from admission. But, I also am worried that all of the archaeology examples will "disappear." All people -- myself included -- have a natural inclination to pick things up off the ground and stick them in their pockets. Despite warning signs or human eyes watching.

How can we open sites like this? The SNTC does not have enough money for staffing, especially in rural areas.
