Téréba Togola[edit]

(

... that Malian archaeologist Téréba Togola's excavation of Djenné-Jeno in the 1990s was documented by National Geographic?

Length, date, rs etc ok, but was struggling to confirm the "late 1980s" point in the hook - the Rice ref (which I now for some reason can't access) seemed to suggest 1990s, but I may have been missing something; if so, could you point me in the right direction? Also, are you sure he's Malian? :) Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 18:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I found reference to his Djenné-Jeno excavation in 1994, 1997, and 1999, so 1990s makes sense, and National Geo did a special on the 1990s excavation; article updated. He's Malian from Mali; I've linked it. Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:53, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
