Domboshaba is a Zimbabwe culture site in eastern Botswana. It had been suffering from neglect until an Africa 2009 documentation workshop was held there. This workshop recommended remedial conservation to arrest the deterioration of the dry stone walls and daga (abode) structures at the site. This paper presents some of the accomplishments of the workshop and the methods used to preserve the daga structures at Domboshaba. It also offers recommendations for others managing these types of sites in southern Africa.
