Oral traditions traced the origin of the people to Ile-Ife and Otun Ekiti. The settlement sites are identified as their ancestral homes where they settled when they migrated to the area. This pioneering work which was a synergy of Archaeology, Oral tradition and Ethnography was aimed at verifying the traditions of origin of Idofin. It investigated the link between Idofin, Ile-Ife and Otun Ekiti. The work provides a foundation for future archaeological studies of Idofin area in Northern Ekiti. It is significant as a reference point to archaeologists interested in the study of the area. |
