I will expand the paragraphs but I would like to have a foundation first. Here is what I have. I was afraid to expand unnecessary parts but let me know and I will fix it.

Jenini is a slave camp in Ghana during Samory Toure’s reign.[1]

The enslaved people would come from different areas, being exposed to a different socio-cultural environment.[2] People enter slavery through being captured, purchased or born into slavery.[3] The enslaved people would live in their master’s compound (in a special section), while some may live in a separate village/hamlet.[4] In cases, enslaved people can receive religious education (a few prayers if they were Muslim) and enough education to participate in the community’s religious life[5] Enslaved people can purchase their own freedom; also they can farm their own land if they were permitted to have land.[6] Enslaved people are found in military, agriculture, craft production, smith, trade, and leather work.[7]

Samory Toure, a Mandinka warrior, established slave camps in Ghana between 1870 and 1895.[8] He is known for resisting French colonization during the nineteenth century.[9] He built an empire covering parts of Bamako, Mali, Burkina Faso, La Coté d’Ivoire, and Ghana, and Sudan.[10][11] His military operations affected large areas that encompassed different ecological, ethnic and linguistic zones[12] Samory’s Toure’s activities took place along side during the Trans-Atlantic slavery.[13]

The archaeology, done at Jenini, was done using instrumental neutron activation analysis and Compton suppression spectrometry.[14] The team, B.J.B Nyarko et al., used 26 samples from pottery sherds[15]The pottery sherds, that were used to analyze, were taken from three spots from the site, Trench 1, Trench 2, and Pit 1.[16]Their geochemical signatures are similar, demonstrating they are made of the same raw material or of raw material with similar raw materials.[17]The evidence suggests that the enslaved people, held at the camp, used clay from the same source for their pottery[18]

Mentioned in Ghana News, Dr. Akosua Perdi said there are mass graves that still need to be excavated.[19]Dr. Perdi stated that people could find human bones lying outside house that had been built on the burial site[20]A quote from her: "As people sweep their compounds everyday they could see frames of skulls on the ground, and whenever it rains, a lot of bones are washed away."[21]

Another place named Jenini: Sir Philip Brocklehurst mentioned a town named Jenini when crossing Wadai, which is in East Africa region.[22]

Hi Lady Miyazawa, I want to give you a small suggestion. Instead of using the word "slaves," I would refer to those people as "enslaved people". There are some complicated reasons for this, but basically it boils down to defining these people not as "slaves" but as people who were enslaved (so, slavery is something that happened to them, rather than who they fundamentally are as humans). Hope that helps! Ninafundisha (talk) 17:22, 22 October 2014 (UTC) I will keep an eye on it when I edit them in the article as I am doing now.
