Archaeology in Nigeria
by Kit W. Wesler (Editor), P. Allsworth-Jones (Editor)
From the Back Cover Historical archaeology is experiencing
a surge of interest in West Africa, after decades of relative obscurity.
The papers in this volume represent the most recent findings by scholars
who are committed to melding written history, oral tradition, and archaeological
data into a dynamic understanding of the coast of Lagos State, through
the Yoruba island once dominated by Oyo and Ibadan, to Benin City, seat
of the great pre-colonial empire; north to Zungeru, seat of colonial administration
under Lord Lugard, and the Jos Plateau, homeland of the ron people; and
south again to the Niger Delta, where the Nigerian people first began their
historic interaction with Portuguese explorers.
