Important has been his discovery of flint instruments, for they tend to prove that Rhodesia was a land of the living in prehistoric as well as medieval times. Last week the Professor reported a particularly exciting discovery? two "Bushman paintings" on rock, one on top of the other. Beneath was a well-dressed Arab. Above was a Bushman ferociously warring with Bantus. It was the first example of superimposed art to be found in Rhodesia. It promised under analysis to help historians to learn what races have crossed Rhodesia and when...
