Answer:

.The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Nok terracotta civilization which is discovered in 1928 in Northern Nigeria, Africa, depicts that the society or the civilization of that area or people which is calculated to be about 2000years ago, were mostly sedantry and rely on farming.

Even though, little is known of Nok terracotta civilization, however, more significantly, it shows that before the Nok terracotta civilization, the inhabitants are mostly into wood-carving, as the influence of wood carving greatly showed in the Nok sculptures as they are similar to wood carving in appearance.

Also, the Nok terracotta era, shows that the pre-Nok terracotta civilization, are mostly into iron smelting, this is the process of heating metal to extract iron in pure form, and at the same time, in iron forges and making of iron tools.
