Asa Koma, Bronze Age archaeological site near Lake Abbe, Dikhil Region, Djibouti.
Located on the Gobaad Plain, Asa Koma rises 40 meters above the surrounding terrain and covers an area of 100,000 square meters.
Dating from the second millennium BC, the site contains graves, pottery fragments, and stone tools that demonstrate early human settlement in the Horn of Africa.
The decorated ceramics discovered at Asa Koma share geometric patterns with artifacts found in ancient Southern Arabian settlements at Sihi and Subr.
Archaeological excavations at Asa Koma, conducted since 1984, have uncovered evidence of fishing activities, cattle herding, and advanced tool-making techniques.
The site revealed bones of long-horned humpless cattle from 3,500 years ago, indicating early domestication practices in this region of East Africa.
