- Scope and Contents
- "Elmina is today a settlement of more than 17,000 people crowded among the low hills adjacent to the Atlantic coast. The modern settlement ends at the Benya Lagoon, a narrow inlet that extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the ease to salt pans in the west. The Benya separates the modern settlement from the Elmina peninsula, a thin strip of reddish brown Elminian sandstone that lies between the Atlantic and the Benya Lagoon." [DeCorse Ch., 2001: An Archaeology of Elmina. Smithsonian Institution Press]. During his trip to Ghana, Elisofon visited Cape coast, Accra, Besease, the Kumasi area, and Elmina.
