Bones, Potsherds and charcoal samples recovered from Dogo Tebo around Hospital road during a building foundation suggest human activity that could push the area’s timeline beyond 500 years. While these results are still preliminary and await full scientific confirmation, they clearly point to a significant research gap.
More systematic excavation and analysis are needed to properly uncover Potiskum’s deeper past.
What do you think? is this the beginning of a major historical rewrite for Yobe?
