Ngodo, Archaeological site in Uturu, Nigeria
The Ngodo archaeological site spans across multiple layers of excavation, revealing ancient tool manufacturing activities and human settlements in Abia State.
Between 1977 and 1981, archaeologists conducted extensive excavations at Ngodo, uncovering stone tools and artifacts dating back approximately 250,000 years.
The excavation site contains three distinct occupation layers, with the uppermost stratum yielding grey pottery that indicates evolving technological capabilities of ancient inhabitants.
Researchers and students can examine the extensive collection of stone tools, including handaxes, cleavers, picks, and sidescrapers found at different depths.
The northern section of Ngodo contains the largest concentration of handaxe manufacturing evidence discovered in Nigeria, extending six meters into the ground.
