The Nok culture, which existed in what is now Nigeria from around 1000 BC to 300 AD, is particularly associated with early iron-smelting in West Africa. The Nok people are known for their sophisticated terracotta sculptures and are one of the earliest to have developed ironworking technology in the region.
