T HE first volume of The Oxford History of South Africa is the only comprehensive, scholarly survey of South African history from the beginning through 1870. Consequently, when the Delegates of the Oxford University Press, for reasons related to the economics of the publishing industry in the United Kingdom, decided not to produce further reprints of many of their established books, including this one, we were delighted that David Philip agreed to reproduce the greater part of it in Cape Town.

In this illustrated paperback edition, we have omitted the extensive bibliography that was part of the Oxford edition. We have done so because there is ample documentation in the footnotes throughout the volume. Readers who wish to consult a bibliography that includes more recent works are referred to C. F. J. Muller et al., South African History and Historians: A Bibliography , which was published in 1979.

Pretoria, 1979.

We have also omitted the first chapter of the Oxford editionR. R. Inskeeps contribution on The Archaeological Background. Archaeologists have been excavating sites in South Africa at an astonishing rate in the last decade; consequently that chapter is largely out of date. Inskeep himself has incorporated many of the findings in a vivid account of early human activity in the region, The Peopling of Southern Africa , which was published by David Philip in 1978. In place of that chapter we have included in this edition illustrations chosen according to their significance for the history of the period before 1870.

Cape Town, 1978.

In the following pages we discuss some recent trends in the historiography of South Africa before the beginning of large-scale mining operations in Kimberley in 1870. For the aeons before the foundation of the Dutch settlement at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, we draw attention to the deepening of the time scale produced by the archaeologists.

For a recent summary of the history of Southern Africa to 1870 see Philip Curtin et al., African History (Boston, 1978), Chs. 9 and 10.

There is still argument about when man emerged and what his distinguishing characteristics were, but the earliest stone tools in South Africa probably date back to between one and two million years ago. There followed a long, long procession of hunting and gathering peoples who made stone tools until, two thousand years ago, communities of shepherds established themselves on the coast east of the Cape peninsula. By the fourth century a.d., people who worked iron and cultivated the soil and kept cattle as well as small stock were in the Transvaal and moving into Swaziland and Natal. By the seventh century such people were on the coast of the Transkei and the Ciskei.
