ABSTRACT: The River Nyong is
situated in Akonolinga (central-south of Cameroon). In order to search for raw
materials in ceramic use, samples of alluvium obtained from the deposits in the
Nyong River clays have been studied. The results obtained show that, the
samples contain important quantity of organic matter and the soil is acidic
.These two parameters are necessary to understand the origin of the characteristic
color of alluvium and water of the River Nyong.
