Description:
View to the north on the Bongase road, roughly 4 km southwest of Bongase. Electrical poles and wires run alongside the main road. The low-lying area of the road (ahead in the picture) was inundated by flood waters as the lake formed behind Bui Dam after 2013. A bypass had to be constructed and the road here became passable after the 2013 formation of Bui Lake only by a narrow foot bridge. June, 2009.

55. Excavations at a metal working area, Ngre Kataa, 2009

Description:
Archaeological excavations of Mound 6 at Ngre Kataa in 2009 expose a workshop where blacksmiths produced iron and copper-alloy tools and ornaments. The mound is being excavated in 2 x 2 meter units named for the coordinates of their northeast corner. In unit 50N 0W (foreground), an area of burned soil marks the location where blacksmiths heated metals. A pottery jar sits in place to the right. In surrounding units (50N 2W, 48N 0W, 48N 2W) are large anvil stones where the hot metals would have been hammered and shaped through forging. The mound's stratified deposits suggest that the workshop area was used for many decades, and perhaps centuries, between the years of about 1350 and 1520 CE (Common Era). View across the mound from the northeast looking towards the southwest. Site Ngre Kataa. 27 June, 2009.
