This volume is dedicated to Late Professor Kwesi Anquandah. He was one of the      indigenous leaders of Archeological in Legon, Ghana. He was the first African Head of Department of Archeology in the University Of Legon Accra Ghana. He lived a honest Christian life. We missed him.

This is the Second Volume of West African Journal of Archaeology on Line. The Journal had been in Publication for the past forty-six years. The first publication came out in 1971. We cannot forget the contributions of our heroes past who founded the journal. Being on line, the journal has not departed from our primary set goals. It publishes original research and review articles on the Archaeology, cultural resources and cultural history of West Africa in continental and global contexts. We welcome field reports and applied studies that use material culture and related sources to address community centered and environmentally sustainable development process and policies. Theoretical, scientific and policy and topics that make use of indigenous knowledge systems are also integral to the goals of the journal.

Volume 48 (2018), have ten articles. Two of the articles are in French and the remaining eight are in English. They include Research Reports and applied studies from Canary Islands, China, Côte d’Ivoire, Israel and Nigeria. We encourage our readers to patiently go through each of the papers.
