Cover Story: The material culture of the West African Kingdom of Dahomey suffered greatly under colonial occupation by France from the 1890s to 1960. Many of the courtly artworks of the kingdom disappeared, finding their way to France or other parts of the world. In particular, many Dahomean swords in private hands have remained unidentified until recently, sometimes misattributed to other cultures. However, after identification, a handful have been examined using sophisticated neutron techniques and the skills of an interdisciplinary team, consisting of historical archaeologists and neutron instrument scientists. These advancements mark the beginning of a new understanding of the nature of ironworking in the kingdom and region. View this paper
