Abstract

Les fouilles recentes de 2 sites apportent de nouvelles donnees sur l'Age du Fer en Afrique. Les recherches effectuees sur le site de Taruga (Nigeria) appartenant a la culture Nok ont permis la decouverte de fours datant des derniers siecles av. J.-C. Sur le site de Meroe (Soudan), la fabrication du fer appartient aux deux premiers siecles ap. J.-C. L'A. pense que la tradition de fabrication du fer au Nigeria vient d'Afrique du Nord, probablement de Carthage.
