Durbi Takusheyi is situated near Katsina in Mani District of Katsina State, northern Nigeria
Durbi Takusheyi (or Durbi-ta-kusheyi, meaning "tombs of the chief priest")[1][2] is a burial site and major archaeological landmark situated about 32 km east[3][4] of Katsina in northern Nigeria.[5] The burials of the early Katsina rulers[6] span 200 years from the 13th / 14th century AD to the 15th / 16th century AD.[7] The recovered sets of artifacts provide material historical clues as to the emergence of Hausa identity and city-states. The grave goods comprise a local, indigenous component besides foreign elements which attest to networks that reached far into the Islamic Near East.[5] Katsina represented a focal point for trans-Saharan trade during the late middle ages,[3][6] a crucial phase in local history during which the Hausa city-states emerged.[8]
