| Summary: | The DGB (diy-geɗ-biy) sites, perched on the northern heights of the Mandara Mountains, have revealed two pottery traditions that we will seek to compare with those that make up the chrono-cultural sequences of the surrounding foothills and plains. This comparison, which reveals a time offset between the traditions of the summits and their analogues in the foothills, sheds new light on the settlement process in the interior of the mountain chain. In particular, we propose a hypothesis concerning the geographical origin of the builders of the DGB monuments. In line with many migration and origin accounts, the Mowo-Gudur region may have played a special role in the settlement process of highlands. |
