Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Akin Ogundiran (Northwestern University).

Enclosures and perimeter walls, built of lateritic clay and stones, are the most visible monuments and evidence of public works in the archaeological landscape of the Ọyọ Empire (West Africa). What purposes did these walls serve as markers of separation and connection? Join us to find out!
