        As an introduction to several papers from the "Igbo-Ukwu at 50" symposium in September 2021, this article reviews the history of the discoveries and excavations, the early debates over chronology, and more recent research contributions that refine and expand our understanding of this unique site. These include new field investigations at Igbo Ukwu, new radiocarbon dates, textile analysis, chemical analyses of glass, and carnelian beads plus lead isotope analyses of leaded bronze and copper artifacts to identify source areas, and metallographic studies.
        Résumé: Comme introduction à plusieurs articles du symposium "Igbo-Ukwu at 50" en septembre 2021, cet article passe en revue l'histoire des découvertes et des fouilles, les premiers débats sur la chronologie et les contributions de recherche plus récentes qui affinent et élargissent notre compréhension de ce site unique. Il s'agit notamment de nouvelles enquêtes sur le terrain à Igbo-Ukwu, de nouvelles datations au radiocarbone, d'analyses textiles, d'analyses chimiques de perles de verre et de cornaline ainsi que d'études métallographiques et d'analyses isotopiques du plomb d'artefacts en bronze au plomb et en cuivre pour identifier les zones sources.
