		Similar pottery has been found 200 km further north in Gabon, at the Oyem 2 site in refuse pits dated to 2,300-2,200 B.P. (Clist 1989), and although data are few, the indications are that the Otoumbi ironworkers arrived in the savannas of the middle Ogooue valley from the forests to the north.
		It seems that the major migrations of Bantu ironworkers were linked to a dry climatic phase in the Kibangian B (3,500-2,000 B.P.), which probably resulted in decreased forest cover and may have enabled these savanna-dwelling peoples to avoid the prospect of a daunting trip into extensive forest vegetation (Maley 1992, Schwartz 1992;).
		The migrating peoples seem to have favored areas with at least some savanna vegetation, reflecting their origins outside the forest ecosystem, and it is not surprising that the middle Ogooue valley was appealing to them.
