Archaeology and Development
Mowaa Archaeology Project
Pre-construction archaeology in West Africa presents new avenues for understanding historic urban development. Excavation of two building plots for the Museum of West African Art, Benin City, Nigeria, provides new perspectives on the Kingdom of Benin, a significant polity in the West African forest zone during the second millennium AD
Current Condition of the Iya in Benin City, the Gates and Future Preservation Strategies
This paper investigates the preservation and morphology of the Inner City Iya of Benin in southern Nigeria, Edo State. The Iya have been the focus of research in the 1960s and 1970s by archaeologists Graham Connah and Patrick Darling. Since then, urban development has grown rapidly spreading out across the wider Iya network and damaging the earthworks. Already more than half of the Iya within Benin City vanished. Digital archaeology methods pose …
Archaeology in the Public Space in Nigeria
Nigeria, with over 200 million people, covers an area of 923,768 km2 and it occupies the eastern section of the West African region (Figure 1). The regions of Nigeria have prehistoric sites spanning from the Early Stone Age through the Middle Stone Age, the Late Stone Age/Neolithic to the Iron Age and the beginning of urbanization. Several historic empires, states and polities developed within the geographical area now occupied by Nigeria and had…
Globalization, Cultural Heritage Management and the Sustainable Development Goals in Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper addresses the impacts of globalization on cultural heritage conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. The homogenization and commodification of Indigenous cultures as a result of globalization and it’s impacts on the devaluation of heritage sites and cultural properties is discussed within a Nigerian context. Additionally, the ongoing global demand for African art objects continues to fuel the looting and destruction of archaeological and hi…
Ethics of Commercial Archaeology
Heritage Management in West Africa
The definition of heritage in West Africa must adopt a wider perspective of incorporating tangible and intangible heritage as recognized and defined by UNESCO. Generally, the West African region does not feature monumental heritage as in Europe and the Americas. The few monumental heritage properties belong to the historic period and are located in the Sahel zone (Mali in particular), while the coastal regions possess monumental heritage properti…

Ethics of Commercial Archaeology
Putting the Records Straight
The Later Stone Age Calvaria from Iwo Eleru, Nigeria
BACKGROUND: In recent years the Later Stone Age has been redated to a much deeper time depth than previously thought. At the same time, human remains from this time period are scarce in Africa, and even rarer in West Africa. The Iwo Eleru burial is one of the few human skeletal remains associated with Later Stone Age artifacts in that region with a proposed Pleistocene date. We undertook a morphometric reanalysis of this cranium in order to bette…
