DON'T MAKE A THREAD ABOUT ONE SINGLE THING IF IT DOESN'T LET US ENOUGH SPACE TO DISCUSS AND THIS IS BORING.
Adrian Nelson
Excuse me, I was too impulsive.
You're talking about postsherds roads in general not just in ile-ife, sorry.
No Ile-Ife was an exception.
Brody Wilson
Ile-Ife might the only places where there is this style of roads.

Apparently ancient potsherd pavements were strong enough to withstand human-traffic, more so than replicated examples of contemporary pavements, which implying that a higher quality of pottery was manufactured by the Yoruba in Ife and other-city states than today, being better fired. Potsherd pavements covered almost all of Ile-Ife in its prime, and were also found in Great Benin, much of Yoruba land, and even Togo and the modern state of Benin.

Cool idea. Did this exist outside of Nigeria?

It was inefficient. The Europeans and Arabs were doing roads better for thousands of years prior.
