Kaditshwene

Kaditshwene is a place in South Africa where people used to live a long, long time ago. The people who used to live there a very long time ago are called the BaHurutshe people. They lived in Kaditshwene a very long time ago because it was a good place to live. There was lots of water and good land for growing crops and raising animals.

But now Kaditshwene is an archaeological site, which means that scientists are studying it to learn more about the BaHurutshe people and their way of life a long time ago. They dig down into the ground to find artifacts, which are things that the BaHurutshe people left behind. These artifacts can be things like tools, pottery, jewelry, and even bones from animals the BaHurutshe hunted.

Scientists study these artifacts to learn more about how the BaHurutshe people lived a long time ago. They can figure out things like what kind of food they ate, what kind of houses they lived in, and even how they buried their dead.

So, even though people don't live in Kaditshwene anymore, scientists are still learning a lot from studying it and the artifacts left behind by the BaHurutshe people who lived there a very long time ago.
