Newly collected data from the road transect under construction between Sangmélima and Minton have enabled archeologists to understand cultural traditions dating from the second half of the last millennium BC and the first half of the first millennium AD. These traditions belong to the Early Iron Age and show similarities to contemporary traditions found in the Yaounde area, the coastal zone and Akonétye, all in southern Cameroon. However, they are not entirely comparable and therefore suggest elements of cultural change in the early first millennium AD. Additionally, as has already been indicated in the region spanning southern Cameroon, northern Gabon and northern Congo, settlements are abandoned, without apparent replacement, around the sixth century AD.
