The Nok culture is associated with the archaeological findings at Taruga. The Nok culture was an ancient culture that existed in what is now Nigeria, and is known for its distinctive terracotta sculptures. These sculptures were discovered in the village of Nok in northern Nigeria in 1928, and subsequent excavations have revealed that the culture existed from around 1500 BCE to 200 CE. The archaeological site at Taruga, also located in northern Nigeria, has yielded a significant number of Nok artifacts, including terracotta sculptures, iron tools and weapons, and pottery.
