This study offers an alternative perspective on the period of atrophy in Yorùbá historiography. We present evidence of resource availability and food security despite the environmental and political instability that rocked the region in the mid-second millennium CE.

Our new publication in PLOS ONE uses biomolecular science to illuminate daily life, food systems, and animal management, and local horse breeding in Old Bara, a fortified royal suburb of Oyo-Ile (the capital of the Oyo Empire). https://t.co/7KLN2Arc7T

[Moses Akogun @moakogun]

Old Bara is long viewed as a secluded royal necropolis of the Oyo Empire reliant on the Palace for supply. However, our study here reveals this town is a productive, connected community within the Oyo Empire’s broader economic networks. https://t.co/09ioupdxOC
