Corisco, whose name derives from the Portuguese word for lightning, has an area of just 14 km2 (5 sq mi), and its highest point is 35 metres (115 ft) above sea level.During the Iron Age (50 BC - 1400 AD) and prior to the arrival of the Portuguese, the island was densely settled. The most important evidence of human occupation comes from the area of Nand¿, near the eastern coast, where dozens of prehistoric burials have been excavated.[1] These burials belong to two different periods: Early Iron Age (50 BC - 450 AD) and Middle Iron Age (1000-1150 AD). During the first period, the islanders deposited bundles of human bones and iron implements (axes, bracelets, spears, spoons, iron currency) in shallow pits dug in the sand. ____________________________________________________ Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
