Kintampo Complex information


Kintampo sites within West Africa

The Kintampo complex, also known as the Kintampo culture, Kintampo Neolithic, and Kintampo Tradition, was established by Saharan agropastoralists, who may have been Niger-Congo or Nilo-Saharan speakers and were distinct from the earlier residing Punpun foragers,[1] between 2500 BCE and 1400 BCE.[2] The Kintampo complex was a part of a transitory period in the prehistory of West Africa, from pastoralism to sedentism in West Africa, specifically in the Bono East region of Ghana,[3][1] eastern Ivory Coast, and Togo.[1] The Kintampo complex also featured art, personal adornment items, polished stone beads, bracelets, and figurines; additionally, stone tools (e.g., hand axes) and structures (e.g., building foundations) were found, which suggests that Kintampo people had both a complex society and were skilled with Later Stone Age technologies.[4]
