Oldest African pottery found in Mali


Swiss archaeologists have uncovered what could be the oldest African ceramic fragment, provisionally dated to c. 9400 BCE, which they describe as "very ornate". The discovery was made in the Dogon Country. Now they are digging at Ounjougou, a location they believe has a lot of potential.
