AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The Iwo Eleru rock shelter was in use throughout the Holocene, into the early twentieth century. For much of the epoch it was within a forest zone; today it is within savanna. Excavations produced a microlithic assemblage; ground stone axes and ceramics appeared around 6000 BP. Human skeletal material was also found but not extensively analyzed for this final site report.
