. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. 190 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM. Fig. 10. Nqabeni, a typical Type B site in kwaKhumalo. Although wood must have been available to build eLangeni and the other three Buthelezi capitals, this probably came from the wooded slopes of the Baba- nango Plateau where it falls away towards the White Mfolozi River in the eastern part of the chiefdom. The western part, in contrast, was probably treeless and similar to the lands of kwaKhumalo, a deduction that is supported by the occurrence of simple, single enclosures built of stone in western kwaButhelezi (Hall & Maggs 1979; Hall 1981). It seems probable that Figure 11 reflects a 'cultural' boundary, that is to say, a distinction reflecting community identity rather than ecological or econ- omic necessity. Thus in kwaKhumalo and, probably, in kwaMabaso men designed complex, multiple enclosures for their livestock, while in kwaButhel- ezi single enclosures were preferred, built of wood or, when this material was not available, of stone. In contrast, pottery design was noticeably similar in the two chiefdoms. Comparison of the vessels from the Buthelezi site of eLangeni, illustrated in Figure 7, with the ceramics from Nqabeni (Hall & Maggs 1979) shows that the two assemblages are clearly part of a common tradition. Similar bag-shaped pots and spherical pots occur at both sites and the bowls are also much the.
