[1] The location of Bosutswe makes it easy for archaeologists to study as the record of the site is continuous.

[3] Throughout Bosutswe's history, the evolution of its culture can be seen through the type of buildings its residents have and the different ceramics.

[3] Evidence for trade with other sites can be demonstrated through the ceramics as well as the discovery of objections that can be traced to the Indian Ocean.

[3] There are no physical pieces of iron to be found from this same time period because the material is not well preserved in the soil of Bosutswe Hill.

The Central Prescient is a small area found in Bosutswe with the densest amount of material that dates from almost the entire occupation of the site.

[4] Bosutswe's ability to adapt to changes occurring led to its long history of occupation.

[4] The idea that this place has some sort of spiritual meaning behind continues today as it is customary to leave gifts or offerings behind.

[1] The dense foliage that currently sits at the site makes surveying difficult using satellites and has taken quite a bit of time.

[6] Bosutswe is located quite close to its more well known influences and trade partners, Mapungubwe and Great Zimbabwe.

[2] The Lose is often split into the Mapungubwe and the Zimbabwe periods based on the influence from those respective sites.

[1] The Early Lose period ends with a fire that has no known cause but many possible theories to explain if it was set intentionally or only an accident.

[4] One theory has to do with instability caused by the fall of Mapungubwe leading to Bosutswe losing some of its control over the trade in the area.

[1] Rats also help keep the early dates of trade intact because they likely came from the African coast.

[4] No stone walls were built during the Iron Age here unlike some smaller nearby sites.

[2] There was evidence of some form pastoralism that also involved some sort of permeance as some people would stay to maintain the site.

[2] Evidence supports the idea that animals other than cattle, like sheep and goats, were slaughtered on a need be basis, with not much concern for the regulation of the size of the herds.

[1] Those who took part in either agriculture or livestock aspect of society often had to face many issues that threatened not only their livelihoods, but the backbone of the entire settlement.

The furnaces used for metalworking physically resembled the people, specifically women, that were making the product, the child the woman would create.

[8] There is evidence supporting the idea that the metalworking involved copper and bronze, while iron was done further away from the settlement.

[8] Evidence to support Bosutswe's role in the Indian Ocean trade is glass beads.

[4] There is different materials used to make the beads showing evidence of evolution within the Indian Ocean trade system itself.

[5] There are strong trade bonds between the site of Khubu la Dintša as it contains many Lose items, though it could also mean it was a group of elites that chose to live farther away from the main settlement for livestock management reasons.

[10] Ceramics were one of the main items traded as evidenced by pots with distinct designs being found during the Toutswe occupation.

[2] Some of this pottery was found to the northwest, proving that there was trade skirting around the edge of the Kalahari desert.

[2] Trade with this area also links Bosutswe of the east coast of Africa to the Atlantic Ocean.

[4] Specifically Lose pottery has been found at local sites that might tell archaeologists what Bosutswe's role in the political environment.
