Toumodi

Toumodi lies in the Baoulé country of central Côte d’Ivoire, where savanna and woodland meet the forests farther south. The surrounding hills contain stone tools and pottery that testify to long human occupation. Baoulé communities developed in this region through movements and encounters among Akan-speaking peoples and their neighbours. Farms and villages occupied the interior between the forest coast and the trading towns of the northern savanna.
