ABSTRACT

IF the ruins described in the last chapter were interesting to the archreologist, another part of the same site, on which no buildings stood, was still more so. It is the first piece of ground to be traversed after descending from the nek by which the site is approached (cf. p. 14). Plate VI. b shows (left corner) the most southern of a pair of small kopjes that stand beside the nek referred to, exactly between the two mountains. Immediately below these, on the route towards Division VI., the ground is furrowed and eroded by the rains of many years pouring off the adjoining slopes. Within a space of about 100 metres from E. to W. may be counted five distinct torrent beds, which begin close to the kopjes and run a short course towards the valley bottonl of Division VI., where all the drainage from both sides collects.
