A Multi‐Analytical Approach for the Compositional Characterization and Chronological Discrimination of Benin (Nigeria) Metal Sculptures
This study presents a multi‐analytical archaeometric approach for the compositional characterization and chronological discrimination of Benin metal sculptures in relation to the 1897 Punitive Expedition. The methodology integrates elemental composition (XRF and ICP), stable lead isotope ratios (MC‐ICP‐MS) for alloy system characterization, and residual 210 Pb activity measurements (LSC) in a sequential three‐stage protocol. Applied to 11 sculptu…

The Benin Kinglist/s
The chronology of the history of the Benin kingdom is seen by many historians as clarified in the main back to the thirteenth century and even earlier. Apart from the reports of European travelers and missionaries and some information given by merchants, this chronology is based mainly on the Benin kinglist for the periods before 1897. This list names 38 kings ( obas ) of Benin and covers past centuries with seemingly great accuracy (see table 1)…
Felix von Luschan and Early German-Language Benin Studies
En Europe ces dernieres annees ont vu la redecouverte des recherches sur les societes du Benin, notamment sur l'art de la sculpture et du ciselage mais aussi en ethnolinguistique. La redecouverte des objets d'art dans les musees berlinois, apres la chute du mur, et les recentes publications sur les chercheurs allemands qui se sont interesses au Benin contribuent a la meilleure connaissance de l'histoire et de l'art beninois. L'A. presente le cher…

The Origins of the Benin Kingship in the Works of Jacob Egharevba
The kingdom of Benin has the reputation of being one of the most important examples for a king-oriented state-formation in sub-Saharian Africa. In the past few decades much research has appeared on the early history of this kingdom, the origin of its kingship, and the time of the early Ogiso kings, who are considered by many historians as the autochthonous founders of Benin kingship around 900. These Ogiso rulers are assumed to have been replaced…
