Archaeology and Culture History in the Central Niger Delta

By tracing patterns of migration and dispersals within and from the region and examining material cultural items, the author attempts to reconstruct phases, settlements and ways of life. The work considers both the saltwater mangrove swamps sub-zone in the eastern region, and the freshwater swamp and forest sub-zone of the central Delta region. It sets out a reliable chronology of this sub-region. Finally, it highlights the cultural relationships and differences between the Ijö and other communities of the Eastern Delta.Derefaka, Abi Alabo is the author of 'Archaeology and Culture History in the Central Niger Delta', published 2006 under ISBN 9789783612204 and ISBN 9783612204.
