Jenne Jeno

Began about 250 B.C. as a small group of mud huts.

Agriculture

They ate fish, Grew rice, ate beef and they might have druken cow milk.

Art

At least some wore jewelry and ornaments of copper and other semi-precious stones.

Trade

They were a center of exchange

Even in 250 B.C its inhabitants used iron and stones, brought from at least 30 miles away.

Sandstone from at least 60 miles away

while copper and salt were form hundreds of miles away.

Government

?

What's interesting about Jenne, is that it existed without a central government. They lived in neighboring clusters that could function independently. (viewed as a "precocious, indigenous, and highly indivisual form of urbanism") They may haved experienced relative equality and cooperation among citizens, instead of competition. dominance, and coercion.

On the other hand, jenne may have not yet developed into that stage yet.

Religion

There have been urns found containing human skeletens in a fetal position, suggesting that this might have had soemthing to do with a religious belief.

Jenne Jeno reached its climax between 450-1100 A.D. The two most noticeable changes during its peak were cylindrical brick houses replacing mud houses and impressive stamp decorations replacing painted pottery. A brick wall that ran almost 2 km around the town (3.7 m wide) was also built. Jenne-Jeno reached its maximum area of 100 acres in 850 A.D.

Now, Jeno is a desert land, where people steal artifacts for millions of dollars on the black market, stealing more history from us.
