Ounjougou Archaeological Complex
Ounjougou Archaeological Complex is a group of ancient archaeological sites and rock shelters located in the Dogon country in the Mopti region of Mali. The Ounjougou Archaeological Complex consists of more than 100 sites that provide a historical example of the chronology and culture of settlement patterns in the interior Niger Delta and West Africa. The site houses the oldest pottery ever found in Africa, and is believed to be one of the earliest regions where the independent development of pottery occurred throughout history. The oldest history of the site dates back to the Paleolithic Age, with many historical stages, the latest of which was the arrival of the Dogon people in the 14th century AD.
