The Rop rock shelter is an archaeological site on the Jos Plateau of Nigeria. There are two layers containing artifacts. The first holds large scrapers and backed crescent-shaped stone tools. The later (upper) layer is about 2000 years old, and contains backed microlithic tools and pottery.[1] The shelter is about 50km south of Jos.[2]

The site was excavated by Bernard Fagg in 1944. He discovered microliths, fragments of ground stone axes, two bored stones, one grooved stone, rubbed hematites and many potsherds.[3] The lower, undated layer held relatively crude implements, apart from the rough crescents. The later layer held higher-quality microliths, geometrical forms and small points, as well as pottery.[4] This later layer only covers part of the site.[5] A skeleton was also found in a shallow grave, dated to around 25 BCE From the teeth, it appeared that the owner had lived largely on a starchy, plant-based diet.[3] A single equid tooth was found with the same age based on its position in the stratum.[6][3]
