Chomuruvuti

Chomuruvuti stands by the Runde River in the hill country south of Great Zimbabwe. Here decorated dry-stone walls and platforms belong to the Khami phase of the Zimbabwe building tradition. The settlement formed part of a landscape of hills, caves and neighbouring stone structures, where communities made use of rocky heights as well as the river country below. Its carefully fitted masonry recalls the craftsmen and leaders who shaped the plateau's later stone-built centres.
