"This book described excavations by the writer between 1961 and 1964 on behalf of the Nigerian Federal Department of Antiquities. Benin has long been famous for its distinctive art style, and its history has been extensively investigated. Field archaeology in Nigeria developed only comparatively recently, however, and this work represents the first significant contribution to the filed of archaeology of Benin, and adds to our knowledge of West Africa's archaeology in general." - Clarendon Press
