New Excavations at Lújúmò Compound, Ilé-Ifẹ̀
Résumé
This note presents the preliminary results of the excavation of the Lújúmò Compound site in Ilé-Ifẹ̀ in southwestern Nigeria, fieldwork conducted as part of my Ph.D. research. Among the most significant discoveries of the 2022 archaeological season was a succession of three distinct levels of potsherd pavements that opens up promising perspectives for the study of the evolution of the Ife urban landscape. The preservation of 12th- to 13th-century medieval levels by the deposits of a modern house, in a particularly eroded area, illustrates the challenges of archaeology in the humid tropical zone
