Lithic analysis of the North African Middle Stone Age from the Rhafas cave sequence
Unveiling the behavioural significance of the Aterian coarse-grained lithic assemblages
International audience
A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters. Here we outline some of the critical findings concerning the Middle (MSA) to Later (LSA) Stone Age periods…
Herbivore dental wear analysis since the end of the middle Pleistocene to the beginning of the Holocene in different archaeological contexts of Morocco (Bizmoune, El Khenzira and Taforalt)
Currently, environments in Morocco can be divided into three broad zones. The North is characterized by a Mediterranean biome and the very strong influence of the Mediterranean Sea. The West coast is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara Desert has profound effects on the Southwest. To better document herbivore food habits and the plant cover in these biogeographical areas since the end of the Middle Pleistocene, we undertook dental wea…
Infant funerary behavior and kinship in Pleistocene hunter-gatherers from Morocco
ZooMS identification of bone tools from the North African Later Stone Age
Oxygen and carbon isotopes in Gerbillinae (gerbil) teeth provide palaeoaridity records in two Late Pleistocene Moroccan sites
Reconsidering the MSA to LSA transition at Taforalt Cave (Morocco) in the light of new multi-proxy dating evidence
The last occurrence of Megaceroides algericus Lyddekker, 1890 (Mammalia, Cervidae) during the middle Holocene in the cave of Bizmoune (Morocco, Essaouira region)
Earliest evidence for caries and exploitation of starchy plant foods in Pleistocene hunter-gatherers from Morocco
Significance We present early evidence linking a high prevalence of caries to a reliance on highly cariogenic wild plant foods in Pleistocene hunter-gatherers from North Africa. This evidence predates other high caries populations and the first signs of food production by several thousand years. We infer that increased reliance on wild plants rich in fermentable carbohydrates caused an early shift toward a disease-associated oral microbiota. Syst…
Hunter-Gatherers of the Maghreb 25,000–6,000 Years Ago
In North Africa, the period 25–6,000 BP encompassed both later Palaeolithic foraging societies and the transition to early farming ways of life. This rather banal description belies, however, the fact that within this time span major changes occurred in climate and environment and shifts in human behaviour were neither gradual nor unilinear. It is possible that hunter-gatherer societies in this part of Africa underwent a major transformation from…
Origins of the Iberomaurusian in NW Africa
The Identity and Timing of the Aterian in Morocco
Iberomaurusian funerary behaviour
The Epipalaeolithic (Iberomaurusian) at Grotte des Pigeons (Taforalt), Morocco
Prospections et sondages sur les littoraux oriental et sud-atlantique du Maroc
Plusieurs campagnes de prospections, dans les régions de Berkane puis d’Essaouira (Maroc) ont permis la découverte de nouveaux sites de surface « atériens » et « ibéromaurusiens ». Des sondages dans deux grottes du littoral atlantique ont retrouvé ces niveaux culturels, dans les grottes du Cap Ghir (Agadir) et dans une autre nouvellement découverte à Bizmoune (Essaouira). Les fouilles envisagées dans la grotte de Bizmoune devraient nous renseigne…
OSL dating of the Aterian levels at Dar es-Soltan I (Rabat, Morocco) and implications for the dispersal of modern Homo sapiens
Modern Human Dispersals, Environments and Cultural Change in the Late Pleistocene of Northwest Africa
Reevaluating the Age of the Iberomaurusian in Morocco
Human Burial Evidence from Hattab II Cave and the Question of Continuity in Late Pleistocene–Holocene Mortuary Practices in Northwest Africa
Archaeological excavations in 2002–3 at Hattab II Cave in northwestern Morocco revealed an undisturbed Late Palaeolithic Iberomaurusian human burial. This is the first Iberomaurusian inhumation discovered in the region. The skeleton is probably that of a male aged between 25 and 30 years. The individual shows a characteristic absence of the central upper incisors reported in other Iberomaurusian burials. Accompanying the burial are a stone core a…
The Late Upper Palaeolithic Occupation of the Moroccan Northwest Maghreb During the Last Glacial Maximum
Étude des ensembles lithiques atériens de la grotte d’El Aliya à Tanger (Maroc)
Bridging the gap
The question of human contacts between Africa and the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle and Upper Pleistocene is of key interest in research of human origins. Discussion continues to focus on whether the sea gap separating the landmasses proved an effective barrier to cultural interchange and population movements. At its narrowest point the Gibraltar Strait is no more than 14 km wide and at times of lower sea level in the Pleistocene the gap would …
Identification of the last glacial maximum in the Upper Paleolithic of Portugal using magnetic susceptibility measurements of Caldeirão Cave sediments
We have sampled Upper and Middle Paleolithic sediments in Caldeirão Cave, Portugal, for paleoclimatic analysis. This work involved measuring magnetic susceptibility (MS) on continuous vertical profiles of a series of ∼8 cc sediment samples, and using the MS data as a paleoclimate proxy. Previous work has shown that caves can be ideal recorders of paleoclimatic variations because they are protected environments. Pedogenesis outside the cave during…
