| 1 | Survey and Excavations in Ilorin, Nigeria: A First Archaeological Insight |
Introduction Ilorin, in the northern part of the Yoruba-speaking area of Nigeria today, remains one of the historically best documented towns in the recent history of West Africa. Long reported as a significant frontier city of the Oyo empire which collapsed in the first half of the nineteenth century, Ilorin is situated at the transition of forest and savanna regions of present-day Nigeria. Ilorin is also known for its craft industries, especially stone bead making and pottery, and as a society of diverse peoples, and traditions. However, since no archaeological work had been undertaken in the city, little could be said of events prior to the past three centuries. This article presents the first archaeological contribution to the question. | OWOSENI BOLAJI. J. & Haour. A. | 97, 1, pp.36-42 | International/University Journal. NYAME AKUMA.
