Influence de l’environnement sur la gestion des ressources au Néolithique dans la zone refuge du Dhar Néma (Mauritanie sud-orientale)
Presented here are some aspects of an archaeological investigation conducted in eastern Mauritania in the region of Dhar Nema, a south-eastern extension of the Oualata and Tichitt cliffs (Dhar). This evidence is presented with a focus on its environmental context. The escarpment of the Dhar, a specific geomorphological environment, provided a refuge geoecosystem that continued to supply water during the second part of the Holocene. During the per…
Les gravures rupestres d’anthropomorphes du Dhar Néma
Dans la zone-refuge du Dhar Néma (Mauritanie), les gravures rupestres d’anthropomorphes participent à la compréhension des modes de vie des populations de la seconde moitié de l’Holocène. Ces représentations, dont l’état de conservation souligne l’urgence de leur étude, ont été relevées à Gedida (DN48), Tounfrin (DN60) et au Tarf el Rjeimat (DN71). L’analyse stylistique de ces ensembles, schématiques ou semi-schématiques, a permis de dégager deux…
Lakeside Cemeteries in the Sahara
BACKGROUND: Approximately two hundred human burials were discovered on the edge of a paleolake in Niger that provide a uniquely preserved record of human occupation in the Sahara during the Holocene ( approximately 8000 B.C.E. to the present). Called Gobero, this suite of closely spaced sites chronicles the rapid pace of biosocial change in the southern Sahara in response to severe climatic fluctuation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Two main oc…
What is the impact of Holocene climatic changes on human societies? Analysis of West African Neolithic populations dietary customs
A New Contribution to the History of Pastoralism in West Africa
Archaeological and faunal evidence from West African Neolithic sites, including those containing shorthorn cattle from 4000 years bp, shows that cattle spread out progressively from the Saharan uplands through the Sahel and along the Atlantic coast. These migrations were modulated by Holocene climatic fluctuations in which alternating wet and dry phases altered natural ecosystems and opened up new areas to pastoralism. At the same time, the Neoli…
Exploitation des ressources marines au cours des Ve-IVe millénaires
The archeological site of Akab Island in the Umm al-Qaiwain lagoon (United Arab Emirates) dates from the Vth-IVth millenia, and provide a rich fauna as well numerous artefacts : lithic industry, net sinkers, ceramics, shell beads. Essentially, the fauna is represented by remains of dugongs (Dugong dugon) and molluscs but also by fishes and marine turtles, and some rare bones of domestic Mammals. The archeozoological study allows to understand the…
