[Source - Gavin Whitelaw for FHYA, 2019: Sherds and an isicoco polisher collected by Tim Maggs in July 1973. A National Monuments Council communication dated 1 November 1973 incorporates a report from George Chadwick in which he states that in July 1973 he and Maggs had uncovered several floors, collected pottery and beads, and surveyed in detail the floors already uncovered. Maggs evidently had the two floors brushed up for formal photography (with a scale) and collected what sherds he could from the brewery hut and brought them to the museum. He also collected an isicoco polisher from one of the pot dimples. The isicoco polisher was identified to Maggs on site by one of the men on the clearance team, a native Zulu speaker. This man also showed Maggs a “woolly aphid” on local acacia trees that yielded a waxy substance when squashed (possibly Ceroplastes species, wax scales), which men used to polish and shape isicoco.]
