Gabon is located in central Africa. It is bordered by Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and the Republic of Congo. A sparsely populated country covered at 85 per cent of its territory with forests, Gabon has a population of 1.7 million over a territory of 26,000 square kilometres (km). The population is highly urbanized, with more than four in five Gabonese living in the cities. The capital Libreville and Port-Gentil, the economic capital of the country hosts 59 per cent of the population. The official language of Gabon is French, and the currency used is the CFA.

Equatorial Guinea is found in west central Africa. It has an area of 28,000 square kilometres (km) and is composed of a mainland, Río Muni, and small islands including Bioko where the current capital Malabo is located. The mainland Río Muni totals about 93 per cent of the nation’s land area and 75–80 per cent of its population. Río Muni is bordered by the Gulf of Guinea, Cameroon in the north, and Gabon in the south and east. The largest city in Equatorial Guinea, Bata, as well as the country’s future planned capital, Oyala, are found on the mainland. In 2016, the population amounted to 1.2 million. The currency used is the Central African franc (CFA). Office hours in the public sector are from 0800 to 1600 from Monday to Friday.

AbstractOver the last few decades the number of radiocarbon dates available for West Central Africa has increased substantially, even though it is still meagre compared with other areas of the continent. In order to contribute to a better understanding of the Iron Age of this area we present and analyze a total of 22 radiocarbon dates obtained from sites from the island of Corisco (Equatorial Guinea). By comparing them with those from Equatorial Guinea, southern Cameroon, and coastal Gabon and Congo we intend to clarify the picture of the West Central African Iron Age and propose a more accurate archaeological sequence.
