Technology A- (Emily Friesl)

Great Zimbabwe had a pretty successful use of their technology. The people used iron to develop armor and weapons. They made weapons such as arrows, battle axes, spears, hoes, arrow points and knives. These tools were used to protect the people of Great Zimbabwe. The buildings there were made without mortar. Walls were constructed really wide and low. Spindle whorls were found in sights there . Cotton spinning and weaving could have taken place. Great Zimbabwe was a trading center. They traded about twenty ounces of gold on the trading route in Great Zimbabwe. They were in the neolithic age. They used their technology to get better resources and advancements. They were independent of the things they did/ make for better technology, but their technology helped them out by protecting them from intruders and helping expand their empire. I gave them an A- because of the great things they did to advance as an empire from the neolithic age to the iron age.
