HANI ARCHAELOGICAL SITE

The Hani-Begho Archaeological Site, located in the Tain District of the Bono Region, is a crucial area for understanding the history of pre-colonial Ghana. The site is composed of two main settlements: the ancient city of Begho and the more recent community of Hani.

Begho was a major trading center from the 11th to the 18th centuries and is mentioned in both oral traditions and written records. The site has been a focus of archaeological research, including studies of human remains and artifacts, which have provided valuable insights into the past cultures and practices of the region.

According to the Archaeology Department of the University of Ghana, some archaeological features at the site support the local belief that the ancestors of Hani-Begho emerged from underground through a small hole.
