Bura Culture

More specifically, the Iron Age civilization exemplified by the Bura culture was centered in the southwest portion of modern-day Niger and in the southeast part of contemporary Burkina Faso (formerly known as Upper Volta). Iron industry, in both smelting and forging for tools and weapons, had developed in West Africa by 1200 BC. The first-millennium Bura-Asinda culture in the West African Sahel has been radiocarbon dated as starting in the 3rd century AD and lasting until the 13th century.

Named for the Bura archeological site near Bura in southwest Niger, the Bura culture produced a variety of distinc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
