Вони початково були виявлені Ісаєю Анозі 1939 року під час риття колодязя в його домівці в Ігбо-Укву, місті Ігбо у штаті Анамбра, Нігерія. На трьох археологічних ділянках, які були розкопані в 1959 і 1964 роках Турстаном Шо, виявлено понад 700 високоякісних артефактів з міді, бронзи і заліза, а також близько 165 000 інших артефактів — намистин зі скла, сердоліку і каменю, виробів з кераміки, текстилю і слонової кістки. Це найдавніші відомі бронзові артефакти в Західній Африці; вони були виготовлені за століття до появи інших відомих африканських центрів виробництва бронзи, наприклад Іфе і Беніну.
