DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gérard Chouin&nbsp\;will highlight the findings from the pa
 st seven campaigns of the Ife-Sungbo Archaeological Project. she\, along w
 ith Dr. Adisa Ogunfolakan\, director of the Natural History Museum of the 
 Obafemi Awolowo University\, established the project in 2015.&nbsp\;Our go
 al is to re-examine the archaeological sites connected to the largest medi
 eval city in Tropical West Africa\, which is also the most extensively exc
 avated site in the region. Our approach involves conducting new digs at If
 e and Ijebu\, utilizing geosciences and archaeobotany\, and analyzing the 
 archives of previous archaeological initiatives. Through this research\, w
 e aim to offer fresh perspectives on the history of the Ife settlement\, i
 ncluding its urban development\, industries\, long-distance connections\, 
 and the regional changes that took place after its decline in the late 14t
 h century. Additionally\, we will delve into its revival as a source of po
 wer and influence in the 20th and 21st centuries.
