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. specialized CAMEROUN YAOUNDE GABON CONGO 112ARCHEO02 50 3 402-417 2015 0067-270X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082030 10.1080/0067270X.2015.1079081 0067-270X [F B010082030] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082030 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2021-07/010082030.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-06-28 2025-11-04 fdi:010082030 fre
