    Depuis 2010, les fouilles se concentrent sur un secteur localisé dans la partie sud-ouest du Tell (secteur 4) où se développe une stratigraphie de 2,50 m. Cette formation est ici essentiellement le fait d’occupations qui se succèdent depuis le début du IVe millénaire avant notre ère, époque de la Culture de Basse Égypte (CBE, correspondant aux phases Bouto), jusqu’à la fin de l’époque prédynastique, au tout début du IIIe millénaire.

    Dendi Lake Rockshelter is situated about 100 km west of Addis Ababa on the west-central part of the Ethiopian Plateau in the Ginchi woreda of Ethiopia’s Oromiya regional state. In October 2012, a team from the University of Cologne excavated a test-trench that revealed four archaeological complexes that could clearly be distinguished on a typological basis as well as by radiocarbon dates. This article focuses on the lithic artefacts recovered fro…

  • La faune prédynastique est-elle « africaine »

    Joséphine LesurARTICLEArchéo-Nil Revue de la société…2019

    Natural remnants of cultural practices, the animal bones of Predynastic Egypt illustrate the complex relationships between man and its environment during this period of great change. The reduction in the proportion of African wildlife, in the diet as well as the introduction of domestic animals from the Middle East thus testify of the evolution of landscapes but also of the external influences in the new modes of production that are then emerging…

  • The Transition from Hunting–Gathering to Food Production in the Gamo Highlands of Southern Ethiopia

    Open AccessJames Arthur, Matthew C Curtis et al.ARTICLEAfrican Archaeological Review2019Cited by: 11References: 79

    Over three field seasons between 2007 and 2012, we excavated three caves—Mota, Tuwatey, and Gulo—situated at an average elevation of 2,084 m above sea level in the cool and moist Boreda Gamo Highlands of southwestern Ethiopia. Anthropogenic deposits in these caves date from the Middle to Late Holocene (ca. 6000 to 100 BP) and provide excellent preservation of material culture, fauna, flora, and human skeletal remains from which to investigate cha…

  • New insights on the first Neolithic societies in the Horn of Africa

    Xavier Gutherz, Joséphine Lesur et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2015Cited by: 7References: 4

    The site of Wakrita is a small Neolithic establishment located on a wadi in the tectonic depression of Gobaad in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa. The 2005 excavations yielded abundant ceramics that enabled us to define one Neolithic cultural facies of this region, which was also identified at the nearby site of Asa Koma. The faunal remains confirm the importance of fishing in Neolithic settlements close to Lake Abbé, but also the importance of bov…

  • Exploitation animale à l'Ancien Empire en Égypte

    Open AccessJoséphine LesurARTICLEAnthropozoologica2015References: 12

    À la fin de l'Ancien Empire (env. 2700–2140 av. J.-C.) en Égypte, l'économie alimentaire est caractérisée par une agriculture dense dans le delta et la vallée du Nil, ainsi que par un élevage centré sur les bovins, les caprinés et les porcs, accompagné par une importante pêche fluviale. La situation est cependant très différente dans le désert occidental, alors marqué par une forte aridification. Les restes fauniques issus de la résidence des gou…

    De par la grande diversité de ses milieux naturels mais aussi de par leur évolution au cours des dix derniers millénaires, la Corne de l’Afrique a permis le développement d’un grand nombre de sociétés humaines. Celles-ci ont exploité de riches ressources en optimisant le particularisme lié à chaque milieu et à ses variations. L’adoption et le développement de l’agriculture et de l’élevage au cours des cinq derniers millénaires ont bouleversé le r…
