Birimi

[1] The Birimi site is situated primarily within a system of seasonal stream channels, which are covered with lithic artifacts and show signs of extractive activities.

[2] The Later Stone Age occupation phase of Birimi, which is associated with the Kintampo Complex[1] and the origin of agriculture in sub-Saharan West Africa,[1][4] has been dated between 3500 and 3000 BP.

[4] Charred plant remains from Birimi show evidence of the cultivation of pearl millet, which may have allowed the Kintampo people to be sedentary and establish a village;[4] there are indications for wattle and daub structures, as well as evidence of multiple building techniques present, resulting in multiple structures of varying sizes, which has been found at other Kintampo sites.

[1] The Iron Age occupation phase roughly (600 to 200's BCE) of Birimi occurred in its western region.

[1] The ironworking activities can be found in the forms of multiple slag mounds and furnaces throughout the western region of Birimi.
