igeria, for the past ten or so years, has witnessed various
forms of violence against her citizens and foreigners alike.
The wave of violence continued to widen and increased by the day
in different forms and dimensions, ranging from armed robbery,
kidnapping, and outright burning and total destruction of the
entire village. The violence seemed unending despite the Federal
Government efforts to curb hostility. The populace feels unsafe
as movement from one place to another has been curtailed
across the country. The focus of this paper therefore, is to seek
how archaeological researches can be conducted in such an
environment that is so charged with such criminality against her
citizens and foreign nationals. What will be our options, if wemust
continue to study our past and preserve our cultural heritage? In
the face of violence that does not respect or discriminate against
whoever was involved. This paper, seek to enquire and propose
tentatively a more cost effective way if archaeological researches
must continue in the wave of these violent crimes against
humanity in Nigeria.
