Hot salt springs on the eastern shore of Lake Albert below the Bunyoro escarpment, where women boil salt from the soil; the salt goes by canoe across the lake and up to the plateau.
Connah's excavations show deposits built up over the last 700 to 800 years, with salt-boiling hearths throughout: occupation began about 1200 to 1300, so on 1 January 1200 the salt works are at most just beginning (not pinned).
