Nyarinde

The Nyarinde River crosses the country of the Urungwe plateau, south of the Zambezi. Copper ingots and pottery found beside the river reveal a tradition of metalworking shared with other settlements in the region. Bracelets from Nyarinde belong to a period between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Similar objects have been found farther north at Ingombe Ilede on the Zambezi, a reminder of the relationships that connected communities on both sides of the great river.
