Gedi is 1 of many medieval Swahili coastal settlements that stretch from Barawa, Somalia, to the Zambezi River in Mozambique. Since the rediscovery of the Gedi ruins by colonialists in the 1920s, Gedi has been 1 of the most intensely excavated and studied of those sites.
The site of Gedi includes a walled town and its outlying area. All of the standing buildings at Gedi, which include mosques, a palace, and numerous houses, are made from stone, are 1 story, and are distributed unevenly in the town. There are large open areas in the settlement which contained earth and thatch houses. Stone "pillar tombs" are a distinctive type of Swahili Coast architecture found at the site as well.
Gedi's location along the coast and association with similar sites along the Swahili Coast made it an important trade center. Although there are few historical documents specifically associating Gedi with Indian Ocean trade, the site is thought to have been 1 of the most important sites along the coast. Gedi's architecture and abundance of imported material culture including pottery, beads, and coins, provide evidence of the city's rising prosperity over the course of its occupation from as early as the 1000s CE to its abandonment in the early 1600s.
