List of Nyanga material culture based on field data collected by DB. The list was established in Nyanga, translated into Swahili/Kingwana by Mr. Amato Buuni and Stéfano Tubi, two young Nyanga assistants of DB. All objects were on view in the late 50’s in a small museum organized on the campus of the IRSAC Research Institute in Lwiro (North of Bukavu), DRC. See the list: Nyanga material culture
