GENERAL BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The term ‘project’ simply refers to research projects at undergraduate level which engage
students in research and inquiry at the end of their undergraduate or bachelor program.
‘Dissertation’ is a research project usually at Postgraduate level (Masters) and ‘thesis’ is
usually reserved for Doctoral level research projects. Final year project primarily is meant to
provide opportunity for students to synthesis and apply their knowledge and experiences from
their whole program. It helps them to negotiate successfully the transition to the next stage of
their career, whether to the workplace or further study.
Final year undergraduate projects represents an important opportunity for students to use their
own initiative to select a topic, methodology, writing style, way of working and presentation
format that aligns with their interests, personal and career goals, discipline and course
requirements, and the changing world around them. To encourage students to use their
initiative, project guides often give minimal guidance about the range of possible forms a
project can take. For some students, however, this lack of guidance can actually close down
their choices since they automatically assume that what is required is a formal piece of
writing that echoes the style and approach of the textbooks and journal articles of their
discipline. To give students genuine choice in tailoring what they produce to their own
specific abilities, interests and goals, one approach is to be explicit about which aspects of a
project are ‘essential’ and what possibilities and opportunities are available. The essential
aspects, such as being an extended piece of work, being research based and being
underpinned by literature are the features that make a project a project.
One can venture to suggest that there are three major reasons why the final year project was
designed. First, it is meant to train undergraduate students in the basics of independent
research work and the writing up of the outcome of such work. Second, it is aimed at
teaching students the ethics and discipline of academic investigations and research work.
Third, it is expected that the project will stimulate the students to identify some relevant
problems in their field of study, which they will like to tackle as part of their investigation; in
the alternative, they may wish to follow up on previous work done (either published or in
previous, unpublished projects), particularly where specific recommendations for further
work were made. Fourth, lecturers in the students’ department may suggest relevant problems
for them to work on. In essence, the work undertaken for the project is meant to be problem-
solving oriented. Above all, it is essential that both the investigation and write-up are
done with a high level of integrity and transparency. (Sowunmi 2014: 2).
It is worthy of note that final year projects are meant to engage students in research and
inquiry at the end of their undergraduate or bachelor programme. However, bearing in mind
the peculiarity of the nature of our department (i.e. Science and Arts), I hereby recommend a
1
more flexible but equally robust approach to the design and assessment of final year projects
to meet the needs of students from diverse subject areas and types of institution.
The University of Ibadan is located in Ibadan North Local Government, Ibadan the Capital
city of Oyo State, having a co-ordinate of Latitude 7.4414640N and Longitude 3.8952020E as
seen in Fig.1.1-1.4. Ibadan has the largest metropolitan geographic area with Co-ordinate of
7023’47”N 3055’0”E / 7.396390N 3.916670E and it is the third largest by population, in
Nigeria, after Lagos and Kano, with a population of over 3.2 million. The name of the city
‘Ìbàdàn’ is a Yoruba word meaning (Ìlú) Ẹ̀ bá-Ọ̀dàn, i.e. (the city at) the edge of the
savannah.
Drainage:
The city of Ibadan is naturally drained by four rivers with many tributaries: Ona River in the
North and West; Ogbere River towards the East; Ogunpa River flowing through the city and
Kudeti River in the Central part of the metropolis. Ogunpa River, a third-order stream has a
channel length of 12.76 km and a catchment area of 54.92 km2. And It is located at the edge
of the savannah
Topography:
Ibadan is located in south-western Nigeria, 128 km inland northeast of Lagos and 530 km
southwest of Abuja, the federal capital, and is a prominent transit point between the coastal
region and the areas to the North. It is the third largest metropolitan area, by population, in
Nigeria, after Lagos and Kano, with a population of over 3 million Ibadan is also the largest
metropolitan geographical area. Ibadan had been the centre of administration of the old
Western Region since the days of the British colonial rule, and parts of the city's ancient
protective walls still stand to this day. The principal inhabitants of the city are the Yorubas.
Climate:
Ibadan has a tropical wet and dry climate with a lengthy wet season and relatively constant
temperatures throughout the course of the year. Ibadan’s wet season runs from March through
October, though August sees somewhat of a lull in precipitation. This lull nearly divides the
wet season into two different wet seasons. November to February forms the city’s dry season,
during which Ibadan experiences the typical West African harmattan. The mean total rainfall
for Ibadan is 1420.06 mm, falling in approximately 109 days. There are two peaks for
rainfall, June and September. The mean maximum temperature is 26.46 C, minimum 21.42 C
and the relative humidity is 74.55%.

1.3 THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN: A brief history
The University of Ibadan is the first university to be set up in Nigeria. It was established as a
college of the University of London in 1948, and later converted into an autonomous
university in 1962. It has the distinction of being one of the Premier educational institutions
in Africa. It started off as the University College, Ibadan (UCI) which was founded in 1948,
occupying, at first, and the old site at Eleyele. It later moved to the new site which covered
over 2,550 acres of land. The site was generously leased by the Chiefs and people of Ibadan
for 999years. The establishment of the University could be traced directly to the reports in
1945 of the Asquith and Elliot Commissions which were set up by the British Government in
1943. Equipment was transferred to the university from its sub-university status forerunners,
the Yaba Higher College, (established in 1930). There were 104 foundation students
(including 49 students in teacher training and survey courses) who began their courses at
Ibadan on 18 January 1948. The formal opening took place on 25 March, 1948.
In February 1945, London University allowed Ibadan its special relationship scheme. Arthur
Creech Jones, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, and an influential member of Elliot
Commission, cut the first sod at the permanent site of the University College on 17
November, 1948, which thereafter became the Foundation Day. With the expansion of
facilities at Ibadan, the number of students offered admission increased year by year until
today.
The processes which led to the establishment of what is today the department of Archaeology
and Anthropology date back to 1946, when, as a post-graduate student, Kenneth Onwuka
Dike (later Professor of History and the first Nigerian Vice-Chancellor of the University of
Ibadan), discovered the potentials of archaeology in providing the missing time-depth to
Nigerian history. This discovery came as he read an article by none other than Thurstan
Shaw, who was to become the founding Head of the department of Archaeology (as it first
was).
Through the personal conviction and dogged efforts of Professor Shaw, Senate and Council
approved the establishment of the department of Archaeology, in the Faculty of Science for
the 1970/71 session. The department owes its appropriate location in the Faculty of Science
3
to the incisiveness, vision, and insight of Professor Shaw. This is a remarkable departure
from tradition. At its inception, the department had 15members of staff, made up of six
academic, six technical, two administrative/secretarial and one field personnel. These had all
been staff members of the Archaeology Unit.
The approval for the establishment of the department (Fig. 1.1) came too late for the
admission of students for 1970/71 session. However, some of the staff members gave lectures
on the Prehistory and Archaeology of Nigeria, and the Archaeology of Africa from the
seventh to the sixteenth centuries, to second and third year students in the department of
History during that session.
The first set of Archaeology students was admitted in October 1971. This foundation set
comprised sixteen 100 level and two postgraduate students. Single Honours and Combined
Honours (with Geography, Islamic Studies, History, and Religious Studies) Courses in
Archaeology were offered, as well as Subsidiary Courses in Archaeology for students of the
Faculties of Science, Arts and the Social Sciences. M.Sc. Courses were also offered, and
there was one Ph. D. student. At the initiative of the last Professor Bassey Andah, the first
Nigerian Head of the department. Courses in Cultural Anthropology were introduced. In
1982/83 the first set of students who graduated with Honours the name of the department was
changed to the present one, to reflect the introduction of degree Courses with Botany,
Geology, and Zoology were introduced.
To ascertain the cultural and natural heritage of the Nigerian peoples with a view to:
Shed light on how they interacted with one another and the rest of the environment
from the earliest time known;
Explore how such insights might contribute to the promotion of national unity and
identity, self-reliance and ecologically sustainable development.
The department has at various times collaborated with Archaeologists in the University of
Benin, Cotonou. There is an ongoing research project, on the vegetation history of the
Nigerian rain forest, between the department and colleagues at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe
University Frankfurt, University of Angiers, France and the University of Benin, Cotonou.
The Editorial and Business Offices of the West African Journal of Archaeology are located in
the department. The pioneer Editor-in-Chief was Professor Shaw who was succeeded by the
late Professor Bassey Andah. The latter remained Editor-in-chief until his demise in
4
December, 1997. The West African Regional Office of the World Archaeological Congress is
located in the department.
The aim of this research is to assess the extent of the impact of undergraduate students of the
department of archaeology on the society using the year 2000 to 2007 as a case study.
2. The period concern in order to make us know whether we are in the right direction.
There seems to be too much emphasis on lack of awareness on the part of the Nigerian public
and the need for Archaeology to be taught at all levels in Nigerian education system and other
tertiary institutions without Archaeology department. However, research project by
undergraduates is a major way which allows for a wide range of innovative practice across
higher educational sector through its impact if well spread – but not restricted to only a
particular region - could help in persuading the people to want to embrace more and as a
result leave the Government with little or no choice than to implement the bill suggesting its
endorsement to be taught at all levels of Nigeria education.
Archaeology research in conjunction with other discipline sought to address the problem of
underdevelopment in Nigeria .e.g. Studies were conceived and initiated into the history of
culture and technology of Nigeria in order to advance claims for alternative, in-ward looking
economic development (Ogundiran 2002:22). In order words, the classification of the
projects by types explains a wide range of innovative practice across the higher education
sector, result into an impact in the society that is limitless. As with most academic disciplines,
there are a number of sub-disciplines in Archaeology. These are:
Historical archaeology: The study of the past using both material evidence (artifacts
and their contexts) and documentary evidence (maps, photographs and film)
Prehistoric archaeology: It concerns itself with societies that did not have writing
systems.
Settlement archaeology: The study of societal relationships using archaeological
data.
Ethno-archaeology: The study of modern societies resembling extinct ones of
archaeological interest, for archaeological purposes
Industrial archaeology: It focuses on the preservation of material relics of the
Industrial Revolution or the archaeology of work
Environmental archaeology: It studies the long-term relationship between humans
and their environments
Archaeo-zoology: It studies animal remains in human settlements
5
Archaeo-botany: It studies human-plant interaction in the archaeological record
Forensic archaeology: which is based on the application of archaeological techniques
to criminal investigations
Museum studies: which is based on display and interpretation of past remains for the
public
Few of the many other aspects of archaeology that is not very much concentrated on here in
the department includes:

CHAPTER 2
Like the Anthropologist says, Archaeology without Anthropology is like a blind man with
one eye. This research project is relatively different from the way project over the years has
been. Its focus is concentrated on the internal (within the department) challenges using
statistical tools to overview projects and see how much impact such a project can make in
promoting archaeology in Nigeria and the whole world at large. And I hope you will agree
with me after this research that Archaeology without statistics makes the one-eyed man be
short-sighed. Suffice to say, No interpretation is possible without the statistical analysis. As a
result, the textbooks available are write-ups on the history of the development of archaeology
in Nigeria. Archaeology is probably one of the most misunderstood disciplines by many
people including those in the citadel of learning and in the town. In the past, people had
referred to archaeologists as grave diggers or those who study rubbish (Folorunso, 2007).
This is because there are many different ideas people have about the past and usually several
interpretation of the same data and definitely more than one answer to the same question
According to Ogundiran (2002), ‘the archaeological research in Nigeria began as part of the
legacy of the British Colonial rule, but the institutionalization of archaeology as a
pedagogical discipline was a product of the nationalist historiography that developed in
Nigeria during the later 1950s’. However, Mick Healey (2013) attempted to describe the
essential features that make a project a project rather than another form of work. Whatever
form a project or piece of work takes, and whether undertaken on campus, in the workplace
or community, characteristics such as the following make it a project:
It should be an extended piece of work: This means that the project tackles a central
question or issue in depth which the students take ownership of. All sections of the
final year project relate to the same issue rather than being a collection of unrelated
essays. The size depends on the contribution it makes to the final year marks e.g. this
7
project being a 6units course (The highest single unit course throughout all the
departments in the institution).
It should be relevant to a discipline or take an interdisciplinary approach: There are a
great variety of approaches to research, but central to these is a desire to find out
something significant about ourselves, our society, our culture, our environment or
other aspects of our world. Research can be qualitative, quantitative, laboratory or
design-based, artistic, ethnographic, participative, action research, research ‘on’, ‘for’
or ‘with’ people, first person inquiry, or one of many other scholarly approaches.
It should be relevant to a discipline or take an interdisciplinary approach: The project
needs to draw from the disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge and skills and
literature that students have gained during their degree, regardless of where the
research takes place, e.g., work or community-based research.
It should be underpinned by a range of relevant sources: Sources that inform
dissertations and projects include textbooks, journal articles, surveys, interviews,
experiments, secondary data, websites, blogs, tweets, wikis, practice reports and direct
personal experience. What is appropriate depends on the type of final year project and
the purposes that the source is being used for. It should be recognized that all sources
have strengths and limitations, and reflection on the limitations and validity of the
sources used is part of the process.
It should be contextualized and show recognition of the provisional nature of
knowledge: final year project need to be contextualized through reference to the larger
disciplinary and real world contexts to which it is contributing. They should recognize
that knowledge is uncertain, provisional, and may be contested.
It should incorporate an element of critical thinking, challenge and evaluation: The
authors of final year project should take a questioning attitude towards the sources
used, the discipline, the data, and/or the social and cultural context, examining,
problematizing and critiquing these as appropriate. The best final year project
challenge and stretch their authors and move them beyond their comfort zone helping
them to discover new things about themselves and their capacities.
It should be clear what it is contributing: A key part of a final year project is its
contribution to the field being investigated. For some disciplines, it is important that
dissertations go beyond stringing facts together and demonstrate at least some
elements of originality, innovation or creativity, though these are more likely to be the
characteristics of a very good piece of work rather that a minimum threshold
judgement. The originality could, for example, come from the application of a
theoretical framework to new data, the critical evaluation of arguments surrounding a
controversial issue, bringing together of information from multiple sources that have
not been collated in that way before, or applying theory to real-life issues. It is also
important that the experiences of undertaking final year project contribute to the
personal fulfillment of the students.
It should have a clearly defined and justified methodology: final year project should
be based on a systematic and rigorous methodology, with clear explanation of how
application of the methodology can achieve the purposes and goals of the dissertation.
It should give the opportunity for students to demonstrate the understanding and skills
8
that they have developed during their degree programme. Furthermore it should show
an awareness and understanding of appropriate ethical issues in undertaking the
research.
It should build up to its conclusions and where appropriate have an element of
reflective commentary, including recommendations: final year project should reach a
coherent set of conclusions which relate to both the particular topic and the research
process. A variety of ideas should be considered, leading up to reasoned conclusions
and recommendations, e.g., for future research or policy or practice. In some cases,
critical evaluation can extend to reflection on the personal interests and goals of the
researcher and how they influence the research process. Many disciplines emphasise
the importance of the author presenting evidence-based and argued opinions.
It should communicate the research outcomes appropriately and effectively: final year
project should be presented in ways which most clearly and effectively communicate
the ideas to the intended audience. For some projects, there may be multiple intended
audiences, for example, a research aimed at policymakers. Most final year project will
incorporate an extended piece of academic writing while some may also include other
forms of writing or other media, such as a report, conference, presentation, website, or
digital story.
As with all characterisations, not every project can be expected to exhibit all of the above
listed characteristics – some are generally applicable, but some are more relevant to particular
disciplines than others. And some are aspirational rather than being a strict requirement. The
intention, though, is for educators to pick, choose, adapt and add to this list according to their
specific discipline, institution and education goals.
2.2 METHODOLOGY
The following methods were employed to achieve the objectives of this project
1. First-Hand information: This involves the use of the primary source (project) for
information. These project booklets were gotten from the department of Archaeology
and Anthropology library, University of Ibadan.
2. Book Review: This is the use of secondary source for available for selection, having
carefully carried out review on books, journals, unpublished works and books such as
students’ handbooks and departmental pamphlets. Some of which were recommended
by my supervisors, some past from past final year project and others were from my
own personal survey of books.
3. Unstructured Interview: This was conducted with the Librarian of the department in
person of Mr. Gbenga Matesun was also interviewed. The interview questions were
related to the chapter two of this project work.
4. Photography: Some pictures of the researcher, interviewees and library were taken to
supplement the information in the project.
9
5. Statistical Analysis: This is a method used to bridge the gap between the project
topics, reduce (if not stop) repetition in the choice of type of projects and their choice
of case study.
Archaeologist and social scientist are faced usually with voluminous data. However,
Statistics being a branch of mathematics plays specific and major role in archaeological
investigation
1. It makes archaeologist subject the voluminous data they come across into a
manageable proportion so that maximum and acceptable statement can be derived
from it. In doing this, Statistics can represent the data simplified in Graphical forms
e.g. histogram, Ogive, Cummulative frequency graph etc. however, it is important to
note that it can as well use probability in reducing data through Absolute dating
methods such as radio-carbon method e.g. 2000±200BP.
2. Human eyes can only detect very obvious pattern, rather than small scales that should
be noted. However, application of statistical method helps in aiding the visual
methods of analysis of artefacts in order to avoid/reduce error of replicability and
repetition in visual analysis e.g. the use of Munsell Colour Chart and the Computer
Spreadsheet like Microsoft excel.
3. It can be used in interpreting the data.
4. Statistics help saves time and help make the result reliable
5. It can help determine more characteristics in artefacts in terms of attributes of artifact
i.e. because of these; there is usually a better basis for comparisons of analysis
between two sets of artefacts.
6. It enhances the separation of artefacts into separate categories.
In an effort to condense data to manageable proportions, there are certain information that
would be lost in the process especially information as regards minute details represented in a
data. And secondly, unless statistical methods are cautiously used, misleading results can be
obtained from the statistical method. This call for carefulness and caution so that result
obtained will not be misleading for the sake of interpretation. Suffice to say, that the result is
a function of our input.

CHAPTER THREE
Whilst it is no surprise that interviews and questionnaires are the most common techniques,
content analysis, observations and focus groups are usually employed to generate data. This
research gathered its information from past documented projects from the year 2000 – 2007.
Secondary data analysis was uncommon.
Data Collection were not without its challenges as I had to go over the projects ‘not once’ so
that I can be sure all the information in this project of which I got from the Department
Library is ‘very correct and reliable’. This would not have been possible within the time
frame allocated for undergraduate project without the very cooperation of the Assistant
Librarian who was very supportive and understanding by granting me a special access to the
library for my data and later yielded to my request of being ‘locked up in the library’ after
several relentless persuasion.
The data below are arranged and classified based on their ‘Type of Project’, from the year
2000 – 2007.

3.2 ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL SPREAD
OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT
Maps indicating the geographical position of the Case Study of Project Research of the
Final Year Students (2000 - 2007) of the Department of Archaeology, University of
Ibadan.

Analysis and Interpretation on the Geographical Spread of the Research projects as in
Fig.3.1
In order to place the area used as a case study on the map there is need to use a certain co-
ordinate (70 25’N / 30 45’E) value rather than that of the co-ordinate having range of values
(70 14’- 70 07’N / 50 02’- 50 04’E). As a result, the lower boundary mark was used to locate
point on the Map.
It can be deduced from map that some of the supposed co-ordinate points on the Map are
wrong. This is the reason for outliers being indicated outside the Map of Nigeria (bearing in
mind that the entire research project was carried out in Nigeria). Suffice to say, it is expected
of a graduate to get information from reliable sources rather than ‘cook up’ stories to make up
mere writing project for the sake of it. Instead, one can use place the location of the site used
as case study on Google search to get the right co-ordinate.
The link above is a screenshot of an electronic mapping work done to show the geographical
spread of all data ranging from the year 2000 – 2007. The detailed information can be
confirmed online through the link
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zXlHwahAtWFU.k9pC6DxreaNI . It is saved
with the name ‘Department of Archaeology University of Ibadan project research from
year 2000-2007’. It is assessable to everyone online for view but cannot be edited. This is in
a bid to further bridge the link between the past and the present as well as a means to
promoting archaeological work via the use of the internet.
Appendix 1 - 7 contain the detailed information of the co-ordinate conversion from Decimal
degrees (DD) expressed as Latitude and Longitude geographic coordinates as decimal
fractions, used in many geographic information systems (GIS), web mapping applications
such as OpenStreetMap, GPS and is used for the Electronic mapping of Sites for this research
project ranging from the year 2000 to 2007. Decimal degrees are an alternative to using
degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS). As with latitude and longitude, the values are bounded
by ±90o and ±180o respectively.
General formula:
NOTE: Positive latitudes are north of the equator, negative latitudes South of the equator.
Positive longitudes are East of Prime Meridian; negative longitudes are west of the Prime
92
Meridian. However, data collected has a list of geographic location that does not contain
negative numbers.

CHAPTER 4
INTERPRETATION: The table 4.1 below indicates that out of 242 final year projects
written from year 2000-2007, 234 students (96.7%) chose a state as their Case Study while
the remaining 8 students (3.3%) did a comparative study as they choose more than one state
as their Case Study in their research subjects. The Chart 4.1 below indicates that most
research project was carried out in Oyo (87), which amounts to 36%. This is followed by
Lagos (41), with 16.9%. However, Case study used least represented in the chat includes
Abia, Bayelsa, and Kaduna with 4% each. Comparative research study between more than
one state were also carried out within the year in places such as Ile-Ife & Benin (4%) and
Oyo, Ile-Ife & Benin having a percentage of (8%).

INTERPRETATION: The table 4.2 below indicates that out the 242 final year projects
written from year 2000-2007, the year 2003 had nothing to be recorded for. In Chart 4.2
below, there is an observed consistency in the number of final year projects written within the
range of 30-35; except for two outliers experienced in the year 2004 (73), this amounts to
30.2% as the highest recorded among the years and in the year 2006, the least recorded with 3
students (1.2%)

INTERPRETATION: The table 4.3 below indicates that out of 242 final year projects
written from year 2000-2007, no student was without at least one supervisor assigned to him
or her. 2 students (8%) of 242 students enjoyed the privilege of being supervised by the more
than one lecturer i.e. Dr. R.A. Alabi & Mr. J.J. Akpobasa and Prof. P.A. Oyelaran & Dr. B.J.
Tubosun . However, Chart 4.3 below indicates that Prof. P.A. Oyelaran supervised 49students
(20.2%) within this period and he is followed by Dr. R.A. Alabi having supervised 33
students (13.6%) and Dr. B.J. Tubosun with 28student (11.6). Mr. J.J. Akpobasa supervised 2
Students (8%), the least number of students being supervised within this period of research
study as an individual.

INTERPRETATION: The table 4.4 below indicates 242 final year projects written from
year 2000-2007, with each being classified under a specific type of project. In the below
Chart 4.4, 106 project research falls under Environmental Archaeology with percentage of
43.8%, followed by Ethno-Archaeology with 19.4% and then followed by Cultural Resource
Management with 16.9%. However, Artifact Classification and Reconnaissance Survey with
1.7% each, has the least number of research project recorded under it when compared with
other recorded project types.

INTERPRETATION: The table 4.5 below indicates that out of 242 final year projects
written from year 2000-2007, 183 students (75.6%) indicated co-ordinate of the geographical
location of their research while the remaining 59 students (24.4%) did not. It can be seen in
(Chart 4.5) below that the percentage of those who indicated co-ordinate of their geographical
location in their research is more than those who did not. However, percentage of students
without co-ordinate is surprisingly high. Hence, this should be improved upon subsequently.

INTERPRETATION: The table 4.6 below indicates that out of 242 final year projects
written from year 2000-2007, 234 students (96.7%) chose a specific region of the country as
their specific Case Study while the remaining 8 students (3.3%) did not choose any specific
region of the country for their research projects. From Chart 4.6 below, it can be deduced that
195 students (80.6%) carried out their research in the South-West region of Nigeria. This is
followed by South-South with 20 students (8.3%) and 9 students (3.7%) carried out her
research in the North-Central and South-Eastern region of Nigeria each. However, the region
of the country least represented in the chat is the North West. It is worthy of note that no
research study within this period was carried out at the North Eastern part of the Country and
comparative research study between more than one region of the country.

Following the Statistics on Appendix 14, in 2007, most students of about 34.4% had her
research case study carried out in Oyo state. Coming close to this figure is that Ogun 18.8%
and Lagos 12.5% which has very close proximity to Oyo State. However, no research case
study was recorded to have been carried out in Ondo and Ekiti for this year.
Furthermore, students rarely studied or carried out projects in the Eastern part of Nigeria in
the year 2007. Enugu and Delta states were the only states used as case study in 2007
amassing 6.3% and 3.1% respectively.
Recommendations
From the above analysis, most research work has been done in the South-West of Nigeria
especially Oyo, Ogun and Lagos state. I hereby recommend that the project co-ordinator of
the department encourages the students to explore some other places in the South-West such
as Ekiti and Ondo, having considered how affordable the cost of transportation as against the
usual Oyo, Ogun and Lagos state.
Following the frequency of supervisors, more students were allotted to Prof. Oyelaran and
Dr. Alabi, as this could be interpreted to mean that there are more Science final year students
than Art students in this year, as majority of the students were supervised by mostly
Environmentalist. I hereby recommend that the ratio of Science and Art students admitted
should be at equilibrium. It could also be interpreted to mean that the department is short of
science lecturer than Art lecturers. I recommend that more Science lecturer should be
employed in the department to ease the few science lecturers of the enormous task of having
to supervise more than the expected number per supervisors for effective purposes.
The frequency distribution as relates to project types reveals that Cultural Resource
Management (43.8%) has the largest percentage in the year 2007 with about 14 students.
Then, followed by Historical Archaeology (25%) with 8 students. However, Artifact
Classification and Reconnaissance Survey appeared just once. I hereby recommend that the
students be encouraged to carry out research more on Artifact Classification and
Reconnaissance Survey particularly under Settlement Archaeology and Ethno-Archaeology.
The frequency distribution as it relates to project types reveals that South Western areas has
been explored more by students than other regions, having about 78.1% of students study
103
areas in South West, while North Central areas of the Country has had few students going
there, which could also be due to distance. As it is known that the practice of Archaeology is
very expensive and also bearing in mind, financial limitation that might restrict students
solely to South-West region of the country. I hereby recommend that the department, in a bid
to encourage students to more carry out research outside of South-West, should give a
specific amount as sponsorship to students whose research study is away from the West so as
to explore more of the frontiers of knowledge.
In conclusion, the Staff of Archaeology have a role to play in amending this fault. The
number of Students who choose South Western region should be cut down in order to ensure
the spread of research work across the country, as a tool to promoting and creating more
awareness of Archaeology to the Public
I specially chose to analyse and interpret 2007, because it happens to be the most recent of
the year to the present research project, having observed improvement over the years from
my analysis, for instance, the fact that it revealed great shift from the ‘usual’ Environmental
Archaeology to Cultural Resource Management and the consistency in the number of
students per supervisor. However, there is still room for improvement especially in the area
of the geographical distribution of research project over the years.
NOTE: The breakdown for each year’s project (2000-2007) is seen in the Appendix 8 – 14

CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
5.1 SUMMARY
The research study help to understand more the unity in the dichotomy of our unique
department classified under both Science and Art faculty in the institution. Having observed
variety in project types, methods of study and geographical location within the period of
study, the effect (positive and/or negative) would help us to know what needs to be improved
upon, what already has been improved and what needs to be sustained.
Analysis from Table 4.5 shows that over 24.4% of research project are without co-ordinates.
This is surprisingly high, as it could be deduced that most students without co-ordinate has
little or no idea about the importance of specifying co-ordinate in a technical research. This is
needful because it helps us understand the geographical framework to which the research is
tending towards and it helps one to better appreciate the uniqueness in the differences and
similarities within terrains. I hereby recommend that the department should make courses
such as Arc321 (Quantitative measures in Archaeology) compulsory for both Science and Art
students, so that it all could be helped in learning some scientific tool for data analyzing.
Following the result in Table 4.1, States such as Oyo, Lagos and Ogun have been ‘over
researched’ when compared to the spatial-temporal framework of states in Nigeria. There is
need for students to explore other states other than the aforementioned. It is worthy of note
that over 75% of research done in Oyo state was carried out in Ibadan. However,
neighbouring states like Ekiti and Ondo are within South West region of the Country, still, it
has not being explored having considered cost of transportation and the proximity from the
institution.
Analysis shows that students rarely carry out their research outside of the South-West region
of the country, as states such as Delta 4.1% and Edo 2.9% are the most researched states
outside of the South-West region. In the light of this, it is important to note that there are
archaeological sites explored by foreign people in the Northern part of the Country with lot of
promises.
105
5.2 CONCLUSION
It is important to emphasize that in the bid to enlarge the frontiers of knowledge and in order
to ensure the spread of research work across the country, choice of Site location is a tool to
promoting and creating more awareness of Archaeology to the Public. Hence, it should not
just be considered only at its proximity to the institution alone. However, it is worthy of note
that this research Project is not against researches that have been done in the South-West over
the years. But one can query students motive in doing project as it relates to the geographical
spread and project types as being just to fulfill ‘all righteousness’ by the act of writing project
for the sake of being awarded certificate as a graduate.
Result from analysis of project types reveals the Project co-ordinator has a role to play in
amending inequality in the choice of project types. This restricts their capability to explore
their innovative ability through the application of their intelligent quotient in other field of
Archaeology. Hence, it reduces their chances of contributing their quota to affecting their
society uniquely. This is not good for the exploration and the exploitation of the frontiers of
knowledge.
5.3 Recommendation
It is clear from this research that students require guidance on transferable study skills in
order to improve their experience of undergraduate research. The department should establish
a seminar where each final year student would be called upon to present their project
proposals, giving room for questions and suggestions as a better way to carrying out their
research to give more room for creativity.
Having known that the practice of Archaeology is very expensive and the extent of the
impact of Archaeological undergraduate research in reaching out to the public, the
department should sought for sponsors especially for students who would be carrying out
research outside of the South Western region of the Country.
Proper project planning and time management skills are vital to the successful completion of
research project. However, given the multiple demands on it is difficult to have such amount
of time needed for research by the students. Having to combine academic lectures, test and
exam alongside shuttling from school to project sites etc., the research projects should begin
earlier. Suffice to say, that the department should ensure that students are assigned their
106
supervisors and given project topic as at 300l so that students can spend enough time at their
sites and could carry out analysis.
It is a shame that some students’ topic is cancelled and changed towards the end of 400l such
research work are usually a shadow of what researches are intended to be.
It is worthy of note that the critical role that the student-supervisor relationship plays cannot
be over-emphasized. The head of department should come up with staff-development and the
management of research project courses as a way out to encourage the supervisors to give
more time to their students and show more care as to knowing more about why the students is
not up to date with his/her research. The success of the student in carrying out research is the
success of the supervisor as well.
