Secular variation of the geomagnetic field in Sub-Saharan Africa over the last millennia
Instrumental observations highlight that intertropical Africa is one of the areas with the most rapid changes in the modern geomagnetic field. The secular variation beyond the last centuries is poorly known due to lack of data, this large region representing only 0.7% of the GEOMAGIA50 database. The resulting large uncertainties in global geomagnetic models in this area make in particular the history of the present South Atlantic anomaly unclear.…

Hydro-climatic fluctuations and their impact on Lake Abhe environments (Ethiopia & Djibouti)
lt;p>Throughout the last 14 ka, tropical Africa experienced significant hydrological changes that were mainly driven by the orbital precession cycle, which controls the intensity of the African monsoon. Recent studies conducted in lake and deltaic sedimentary records suggest that long-term monsoon humid oscillations (African Humid Period / AHP ~14 – ~6 ka) were punctuated by centennial-scale episodes of hyperaridity. However, the abrupt or gradua…
Survival kit for the afterlife or instruction manual for prehistorians? Staging artefact production in Middle Neolithic cemetery Kadruka 23, Upper Nubia, Sudan
The burials at the Neolithic cemetery Kadruka 23 in Sudan have yielded adornments and bone and lithic artefacts that occur as distinct stages of the chaîne opératoire. This article reports on a hitherto unrecognised funerary practice that highlights the importance of craftsmanship for Neolithic communities in life and beyond
Climate change and human lakeside adaptation in the Central Afar Region (Lake Abhe basin, Ethiopia & Djibouti) during the Later Stone Age - Neolithic transition
lt;p>Throughout the last 20 ka, tropical Africa was the site of significant hydrological changes related to variations in the intensity of the African monsoon. Recent studies conducted in lake and deltaic sedimentary records suggest that gradual long-term monsoon humid oscillations (African Humid Period ~14 – ~6 ka) were punctuated by centennial-scale episodes of hyperaridity (HS1, YD, 8.2 ka, 4.2 ka). These abrupt hydrological changes could have…
The Destruction of Yemen and Its Cultural Heritage
After losing control of the capital Sanaa to Yemen's northern Houthi movement, which is aligned with forces loyal to the former president ʿAli ʿAbd Allah Salih, current Yemeni President ʿAbd Rabbu Mansur Hadi turned to Saudi Arabia for help. In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and its coalition of nine states began a bombing campaign in Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab world. Prior to the conflict, Yemen was already 90-percent dependent on imported…
Identification and characterization of two new obsidian sub-sources in the Nemrut volcano (Eastern Anatolia, Turkey)
The growth of early social networks
Developing a complex network model of obsidian exchange in the Neolithic Near East
L’étude des échanges d’obsidienne permet d’obtenir une meilleure connaissance des systèmes d’interaction entre les villages sédentaires au début du Néolithique au Proche-Orient. Le modèle d’échange d’obsidienne, down-the-line, a dominé pour expliquer la diffusion de l’obsidienne entre les villages néolithiques. Cependant, l’information disponible sur la quantité d’obsidienne présente dans les sites, les simulations mathématiques de cette distribu…
Late Stone Age variability in the Main Ethiopian Rift

Towards a Multi-Agent-Based Modelling of Obsidian Exchange in the Neolithic Near East
Considering the Arabian Neolithic through a reconstitution of interregional obsidian distribution patterns in the region
As a result of a programme devoted to obsidian geochemical analyses for the Red Sea region ( VAPOR ), the register of analysed obsidian artefacts from Arabia has grown considerably in recent years. A percentage of these correspond to surveyed and excavated Neolithic contexts in Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Oman. This growing database of site to source matches has enabled us to consider the Neolithic of Arabia as more than just a period of sedentism an…
Archéologie préhistorique de la partie centrale du Main Ethiopian Rift
Prehistory of the Central Main Ethiopian Rift (Ziway-Shala basin) : Establishing the Late Stone Age sequence in Eastern Africa Supported by the CFEE, ARCCH, MAEE, INRAP and the laboratory TRACES, this project, " Late Stone Age sequence in Ethiopia", is devoted to the collection of new data on the late prehistory of the Horn of Africa. To answer to this objective, several fieldwork seasons have been carried out since 2007 in the area of lakes Ziwa…
The Paleoenvironment and Lithic Taphonomy of S hi’ B at D ihya 1, a Middle Paleolithic Site in W adi S urdud, Y emen
The S hi'bat D ihya 1 site in western Y emen, dated by optically stimulated luminescence to 55 ka, provides insight into the M iddle P aleolithic peopling of the A rabian P eninsula. The archaeological layer is interstratified within thick, sandy silt floodplain deposits filling a piedmont basin. Luminescence dates, lack of soil development, and gypsum precipitation indicate a high accretion rate of the floodplain during M arine I sotope S tage 3…
Inland human settlement in southern Arabia 55,000 years ago. New evidence from the Wadi Surdud Middle Paleolithic site complex, western Yemen
Proto-Urbanism in the Late 5th Millennium BC
Excavation and systematic surface collection since 1999 have revealed the outlines of a unique site in Northern Mesopotamia. Khirbat al-Fakhar is an extensive settlement of 300 ha, primarily occupied during the LC 1-2 periods (ca 4400-3800 cal. BC). Systematic surface collection, satellite imagery analysis, and targeted excavation allow a preliminary characterization of its settlement, in particular the abundance of evidence for intensive obsidia…
Obsidian sources in highland Yemen and their relevance to archaeological research in the Red Sea region
Provenance of Obsidian Excavated From Late Chalcolithic Levels at the Sites of Tell Hamoukar and Tell Brak, Syria
X‐ray fluorescence and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) analyses conducted on 40 obsidian samples from the Late Chalcolithic 2 levels at Tell Hamoukar and Tell Brak in north‐east Syria have shown trends towards the exploitation of obsidian sources in the eastern Taurus. While the Bingöl region appears to provide the majority of obsidian to both sites, there is also evidence of more minor exploitation of a so…
The late prehistoric standing stones of the Tihâma (Yemen)
Les récentes recherches menées dans la plaine côtière de la Tihâma ont apporté un éclairage nouveau sur la culture mégalithique de la fin de la Préhistoire qui se développe le long de la côte yéménite de la mer Rouge. À ce jour, sept sites comportant des structures mégalithiques y ont été recensés. Ces monuments imposants, datés de la fin du iiie – début du iie millénaire av. J.‐C., semblent consciemment implantés en des points précis le long des…
Excavations at Tell Brak 2006–2007
Excavations at Tell Brak in 2006–7 explored two key episodes in Mesopotamian political and social history, developing early social complexity in the fifth to fourth millennia BC and the shift from territorial state to early empire in the second millennium BC. Late Chalcolithic complexity is represented in Area TW on the main mound and at the outlying sub-mound of Tell Majnuna, while investigation of the Old Babylonian to Mitanni state-to-empire t…
Vers une archéologie préventive au Yémen
L’archéologie préventive et les opérations de sauvetage archéologique et de protection du patrimoine se sont amplifiées au cours des dernières décennies au Yémen. Les autorités locales ont rapidement pris conscience du danger que pouvait représenter les aménagements modernes du territoire sur la préservation des connaissances scientifiques du passé. De même, les pillages opérés à l’encontre de la loi en vigueur sur la protection des antiquités se…
De la pré-Histoire à la Préhistoire au Yémen
Grâce aux nombreuses recherches et fouilles entreprises, la période sudarabique, qui s’étend du IXe siècle av. J.-C. au IVe siècle ap. J.-C., est la mieux documentée de l’archéologie yéménite. Toutefois, nous savons encore peu de choses sur la Préhistoire dans cette région du monde, tout particulièrement en ce qui concerne sa chronologie. Il n’existe par exemple aucune preuve d’un contrôle de la nature ni d’une sédentarisation sur les sites dits …
