Thousands of artifacts were found in Djenné-Djenno as it was located in a branch of the Niger River.
Explanation:
Archaeological evidence shows that Djenne-Djenno was a major trading city in west Africa because of its location that allowed the place to be part of the Saharan trade network. The city grew as a trade centre because of its location next to the river. Artifacts such as copper and glass beads from Asia in Djenne gives evidence of trade presence.
The policy of 'Salutary Neglect' lasted from the early 1600's to the 1760's and avoided strict enforcement of parliamentary laws - British officials in the colonies were basically allowed to turn a 'blind eye' to trade violations - they neglected to enforce the law.
