ABSTRACT
One day in early 2010, not long after the launching of the Katuruka project, Benjamin Shegesha learned from a teacher at nearby Nyarubale Primary School that students had found human bones. The school had kept them for some time in a storeroom and the headmaster wanted advice about their disposition and significance. We scheduled a visit with the headmaster to examine the finds and meet with the teacher who was indirectly responsible for their collection. As we sat in the headmaster’s office, we learned that as part of a biology lesson pupils were asked to bring bones to class. Expecting chicken, goat, and cattle bones, the teacher was surprised to see many human skulls and long bones appear. When questioned, the children told the teacher that the bones came from a rock shelter contiguous to Mazinga waterfall about 2 kilometers away, towards Lake Victoria.
