Introducing the new Material History Lab @NUHistory and @NorthwesternU. The lab is dedicated to material approaches to historical inquiry. In this interdisciplinary space, no question is beyond our interest and collaboration is essential to our operation. youtube.com/watch?v=ACX_B7…

Yesterday, the DG welcomed Professor Akin Ogundiran, a world-renowned archaeologist and historian from Northwestern University, USA, author of "Yoruba: A New History." We discussed partnering to teach Yoruba history accurately in the SW. Mentions: @SeyeOyeleye @akin_ogundiran

We have been excavating a blacksmithing compound in Ede Ile. We are learning that ironworking was an important economic activity in the Oyo colony, raising questions on the relationships between technology, Oyo imperial expansion, and colonization in the Early Modern Period.

Thanks to Ọba Adésọlá Lawal, the King of Ẹdẹ, for welcoming the 2024 Oyo Empire Project team to his palace. This year marks the 20th anniversary of my first fieldwork in Ẹdẹ-Ilé, one of the empire's colonies. I'm glad to continue the research with an incredible team.

It was nice reconnecting with you guys @chiamakanyanwu @bettyowa and Olumide at SAA

@GistArchaeology @AIyunoluwa Congratulations 🎉

We are celebrating @AIyunoluwa for receiving the prestigious NSF Bioanth. What a remarkable accomplishment from the great Nigerian scholar pursuing graduate studies at The Penn State University.

@nigarchaeology Congratulations Sylvester

Sylvester Onoriode Obigba Receives Agbaje-Williams Grant for Postgraduate Studies We are pleased to announce Sylvester Onoriode Obigba as the recipient of the 3rd Agbaje-Williams Grant in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Ibadan. An MPhil/PhD archaeology student, Mr. Obigba will conduct field and laboratory research on the cultural and environmental history of the Urhobo- and Izon-speaking regions of the Niger Delta during the past 10,000 years. The review panel praised the potential of the project to open the Urhobo-Izon region to palaeoecological and archaeobotanical investigations. This will improve our understanding of the region's deep-time settlement history, climate history, anthropogenic impacts, and subsistence strategies. Mr. Obigba is working under the supervision of Dr. Orijemie, a senior lecturer of archaeology and specialist in archaeobotany. The completion of the project will move Mr. Obigba closer to his goal of earning a Ph.D. in environmental archaeology at the University of Ibadan and developing a career in the academy. He holds a BSc in Botany from Delta State University (Abraka) and an MSc in Botany (palynology concentration) from the University of Ibadan. He is a member of the Archaeological Association of Nigeria (AAN) and serves as the assistant secretary of the Palynological Association of Association (PAN). The Agbaje-Williams Grant was inaugurated in 2021, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, to provide postgraduate students with financial and technical resources for conducting original research that will lead to a dissertation. The grant is named for Professor Babatunde Agbaje-Williams, a leading Nigerian archaeologist and anthropologist. He earned his B.A. Anthropology at Beloit College (USA), M.A. in Anthropology at Brown University (USA), and Ph.D. in Archaeology at the University of Ibadan. He taught at Ibadan for thirty-five years in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology and the Institute of African Studies (1977-2012). Please join us in congratulating Sylvester Onoriode Obigba as the latest recipient of the Agbaje-Williams Grant. We wish him the very best in his studies. SIGNED: The Agbaje-Williams Grant Board
