Summary: The auther investigates whether hunter-gatheres and patoralists reflect discrete ethnic categories or whether they reflect more complex relationships that crosscut ethnic and linguistic boundaries. The Kalahari was generally ignored as an livestock area. This changed during the 1980's with the discovery of first millennium A D pottery and cattle bone in the Dobe area in the Omaheke. Archaeological studies since then suggest that pastoral economics may have been established in the Kalahari in the past. Auther thus investigates the relationship between livestock herding and wells
