people over a spread of time. Some 20 000 years ago , upright
walking people lived along the riverbanks in hollowed out caves.
They used finely chiseled stone implements, which have been found
here. Over a peroid of time Tswana speakinf people migrated from
the north and build and settled in a band of stone igloo type
structures . They streched from Thabazimbi in the west to the area
in which the cache is hidden , dating back some 800 years ago.Their
arrival displaced hordes of Khoi-Khoi people who migrated from the
south and settled here as nters over a peroid of hundreds of years.
They again was displaced by Zulu Impi's of Chaka Zulu . The
Khoi-Khoi returned and lived in this circular stone buildings that
had been abandoned.They hunted and also planted some crops. They
made iron spears and arrow tips as did the Tswanas ,using bellows
to make metal workable. Full exhibition of artifacts on show in
