Como resultado destes achados, três sítios arqueológicos foram escavados em 1959 e 1964 por Thurstan Shaw, que revelou mais de 700 artefatos de alta qualidade de cobre, bronze e ferro, bem como cerca de 165 000 contas de vidro, cornalina e pedra, cerâmica, têxteis e marfim. Eles são os mais antigos artefatos de bronze conhecidos na África Ocidental e foram fabricados séculos antes do surgimento de outros centros de produção de bronze conhecidos como os deIfé e Benim. Os bronzes incluem numerosos vasos rituais, pingentes, coroas, couraças, ornamentos do pessoal, espadas, e alças . (pt) Археологічні розкопки в Ігбо-Укву (Igbo-Ukwu) виявили бронзові артефакти, що датуються 9-м століттям нашої ери. Вони початково були виявлені Ісаєю Анозі 1939 року під час риття колодязя в його домівці в Ігбо-Укву, місті Ігбо у штаті Анамбра, Нігерія. На трьох археологічних ділянках, які були розкопані в 1959 і 1964 роках Турстаном Шо, виявлено понад 700 високоякісних артефактів з міді, бронзи і заліза, а також близько 165 000 інших артефактів — намистин зі скла, сердоліку і каменю, виробів з кераміки, текстилю і слонової кістки. Це найдавніші відомі бронзові артефакти в Західній Африці; вони були виготовлені за століття до появи інших відомих африканських центрів виробництва бронзи, наприклад Іфе і Беніну. Бронзові вироби включають безліч ритуальних судин, підвісок, корон, нагрудних плит, прикрас для посохів, мечів, ручок мухобійок. (uk) |
