This is a brief study about a small assemblage of lithic artifacts collected in M’banza Congo (Northern Angola) in the 50’s and currently kept at Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (Lisboa). Our aim is to associate this find to the more recent archaeological data available for the region and evaluate the importance of the assemblage in terms of the archaeohistory of Angola. These polished stoneaxes allow us to set out a relation to the ‘Ngovo Group’, a group of archaeological sites with a distinctive industry of pottery and stone tools identified in Lower Congo-Zaire.
