Ancila Nhamo Katsamudanga is a Senior Lecturer of Archaeology and Heritage Management at the University of Zimbabwe. Her specialty field is rock art interpretation, management and conservation – especially concerning the relation between Zimbabwean rock art and cultural evolution. She is deeply involved in the promotion of archaeology among the general public, through various exhibitions, rock art awareness and world heritage programmes.

She has also developed strong links with foreign researchers through collaborations such as the current project “Change and Continuity in Forager’s rock art: social dynamics and climate in the Matobo, Zimbabwe (35 000-2 200 BP)”, with colleagues Camille Bourdier (University of Toulouse), Guillaume Porraz (CNRS & Nanterre Paris University) and the National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe. This project aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the history and changing processes of that period’s forager populations from Southern Zimbabwe-Limpopo.
