Résumé en anglais

Ntusi and Bigo bya Mugyenyi are two archaeological sites 16 kilometres apart from each other. The archaeological record dates them two centuries apart, as well with Ntusi dating, between the 11th and 15th century and Bigo bya Mugyenyi dating between the 14th and 16th century. Both of them share a common tradition associating them as capitals of the legendary Bacwezi. Bacwezi are the rulers of the ancient Empire of Kitara from which, after the 16th
century, the later inter-lacustrine Kingdoms of Bunyoro-Kitara, Buganda, Nkore, Rwanda and Karagwe emerged.
