NYAME AKUMA No. 76 DECEMBER 2011Decorative Motifs Igbo Olokun Igbo RudiTwisted Twine ** *Knotted Twine * *Carved Roulette Ladder Pattern **Other Pattern ** *Toothed Roulette *Maize Cob * *Punctate * **Circle Stylus * **Dragged Comb ** *Incised * **Rib/Raised *Composite * *Table 3: Comparative summary of major decorative motifs (*=present, **=prominant). Figure 5: Selected decorative motifs from left, top: maize cob, incisions, twisted twine, dragged comb; middle: cross hatched, punctate, circular stylus; bottom: carved wooden roulettes - toothed, ladder, other carved pattern. [ The occurrence of maize cob decoration on the pottery from Igbo Olokun is also an indicator that we may be digging the later period of the site’s occupation. If this is the case, then the date would be associated with the late production phase at the site. Of course all or any of these positions are very preliminary until more detailed and extensive work is carried out at Igbo Olokun and it's surrounding.] www.researchgate.net/publication/281149556_Archaeological_Investigation_at_Ile-Ife_Southwest_Nigeria_A_Preliminary_Report_on_the_2010_Test_ExcavationsHere^^ it seems an attempt at down dating the issue of the maize cob simply because it's maize, which would be problematic in explaining if earlier date of the pot shards were to be accepted, However, still have to take it in consideration,as a possibility Just as we must consider the linguistic position of MWD Jefferies along with Fage and Oliver.
