Early evidence of human settlement in the area of modern Benin can be found in the Atakora mountain chain of north-western Benin. Systematic surveys and excavations have identified caves, rock shelters and open-air sites with lithic industries spanning the Early, Middle and Later Stone Age. Didier N'Dah's work at sites such as Kumaaku, Tanongou and the Pendjari area has reconstructed a chronocultural sequence from Early Stone Age to Late Stone Age, based on the typology of stone tools and comparisons with better-dated regions of West Africa. These sites have yielded a range of artefacts, including large flakes and cores associated with Middle Stone Age technologies, as well as microliths, grinding stones, polished axes and pottery that point to Later Stone Age and Neolithic occupations in the region. A wider survey of Pleistocene sites in West Africa includes localities in present-day Benin, confirming that the country forms part of the broader regional pattern of Stone Age settlement.
