With the availability of archaeological materials on Gurgu abandoned settlement, the history of Gurgu is still clouded in obscurity. This is due to the non archaeological work conducted on the abandoned settlement. Thus, this research was carried out at Gurgu abandoned settlement because of the need to reconstruct the history of Gurgu and alongside document its finds and features for posterity due to the threat posed to it by human activities such as farming and animal grazing. This research however employs the use of methods such as review of written documents, oral traditions, archaeological reconnaissance survey, as well as classification, analysis and interpretation of archaeological finds and features that have been identified, observed and documented. Based on the oral account retrieved, the first clan to have inhabited the "Igun Hill" is the Afebarkachi, although the period of inhabiting the site was not ascertained. The Afebarkachi was later joined by the fekaribir, the Afedurbi and lastly the Afesem. These four clans gave rise to the name of the hill they inhabited "Igun Hill", literally means, "Togetherness". But the four clans are known as the "Afeber" due to their choice of settlement.
