A cave in Matopo Hills near Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, with fine rock paintings, especially of giraffe. The cave has a long sequence of stone industries and the name Pomongwe also refers to a Later Stone Age industry of southwestern Zimbabwe dated between 10,800-9400 bp. At the very bottom of the deep archaeological deposits at Pomongwe are a few artifacts possibly of Sangoan type. Later occupations are attributed successively to the Charaman, Bambata, Tshangula, and Wilton industries. Interstratified between the last two is the Pomongwe culture's assemblage, containing utilized flakes and crude scrapers with virtually no other stone implements. Some see it as a regional industry within the Oakhurst Complex.
