Plateaux

Administrative divisions Togo is divided in five regions; De La Kara, Des Plateaux, Des Savanes, Du Centre, Maritime.

Briar burls are cut into two types of blocks; ebauchon and plateaux.

Ebauchon is taken from the heart of the burl while plateaux is taken from the outer part of the burl.

It is one of the world's most mountainous countries, its landscape dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate various basins or plateaux from one another.

The limestone plateaux of the White Peak are more intensively farmed, with mainly dairy usage of improved pastures.

This was confirmed by other findings made in this excavation near the large water reservoir on top of the rock where two polished greenstone axes were discovered, a lithic industry characteristic of "shepherds of the plateaux".
