Abstract
Kuyello abandoned settlement site was investigated based on its cultural variability. However, as a result of security challenges, there has been a dearth of archaeological researches at that location. Thus, most of the researches have concentrated only in Old Birnin Gwari without
adequate attention paid on surrounding settlements. This paper looks at the human occupation of the site and how they were able to evolve and adapt to the environmental condition of the area. Cultural remains on the site are being threatened by human activities as well as natural
agencies such as flooding and erosion. Archaeological methods were employed in the study of this site, these include the collection of oral information which aided in the location of the site, archaeological survey as a method was employed which helped in showing the spatial
distribution of features on the site as well as their relationship with one another, classification and analyses of cultural remains on the site was also carried out thus, played a vital role in giving meaning to these cultural remain who cannot speak for themselves. The site was characterized by several evidence of human occupation such as defensive wall, dye pits, grinding stones, house ruins, stone hollows and potsherds. This research was able to determine that the site was occupied at a certain time in the past and also provide evidence on the human exploitations and the relationship of the immediate environment for man’s betterment. More needs to be done, since the time span of the occupation of the site cannot be determined. It becomes compelling that dating the site will provide the necessary data pertaining the year of occupation and abandonment.
