Did the Bantu expansion replace all sub-Saharan populations? And whence the Nilotes?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] Quéchon's low date, -1675 is easier for Anglophones to swallow, maybe? [QUOTE] by Louise Marie Maes-Diop: Beyond that, in the [i]Journal des Africanistes[/i] (62, 2, 1992 : pp. 55-68 ), in collaboration with F. Paris, A. Person et J.F. Saliège, Gérard Quéchon wrote: '[i]... in the Egaro region (West Termit), two pots coming from the sites contained iron objects, which provided even more ancient dates: [b]2520 and 1675 BC[/b] and even [b]2900-2300 BC[/b] in one case. These dates were [b]obtained in good, laboratory conditions[/b] (Saliege, Lodyc, University of Paris and M. Curie) [b]as well as in the field[/b] (Paris excavation and Quechon,1986)[/i]'. (emphasis ours) '[i]The probability of the calibrated age in this time range is 95% (confidence range 2a). The calibration table used is that of Klein et al. 1982[/i]' [36]. Of course of the authors publish these two dates "with all reservation" and "are waiting confirmation through other results", but homing in on the date obtained at Ndalane (Senegal) is imposing itself (cf. the above publication by C. A. Diop, in Notes Africaines, n°152, October 1976, IFAN, Dakar), as well as the re-examination of the lower layers at Nok and neighbouring sites.

Biafrans wore out the hardwood trees for charcoal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
