Semi-protected edit request: duplicate text in archaeology section

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the subsection “History - Igbo-Ukwu archaeology”, the following text appears at both the beginning and end of the section:

“Glass production: Igbo-Ukwu has one of the oldest glass productions in West Africa. The archeology of Igbo-Ukwu had over 600 prestige objects including complex cast copper-alloy sculptures and more than 165,000 glass and carnelian beads.The most common glass among the 138 analytical results for Igbo-Ukwu beads is soda-lime glass produced using plant ash.”

Based on the context and the bold text in “Glass production”, it seems to me that the text belongs at the end of the section and the placement at the beginning is in error. Could someone check this? 96.240.151.206 (talk) 17:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
