Primeiras comunidades de agricultores e pastores: a importância dos concheiros de Chongoene nos estudos dos padrões de assentamento

Abstract

In Mozambique, some stations on the first agro-livestock communities are located in low dunes or in the coastal cordon, which makes it possible to practice agriculture and fishing for their survival. The reason for choosing this archaeological site is because it is one of the stations that preserves evident traces of the first communities of farmers and shepherds in Mozambique, who speak the Bantu languages. In this thesis, the importance of chongoene councilors in the studies of settlement patterns is interpreted, having as councilor without permanent structures what may indicate a temporary or semi permanent seasonal occupation. Currently marine resources are still of great importance as local communities still exploit the derivative types of shellfish for their survival (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
