Les industries lithiques du plateau de Mansourah (Constantine, Algérie). La collection de Georges Laplace-Jauretche 1953-1954
Découvert par G. Laplace-Jauretche en 1953-1954, le site du Plateau de Mansourah à Constantine a livré des industries lithiques dont des galets taillés qui ont été assignés à « l’Oldowayen sensu lato » et datés du Pléistocène inférieur sur la base de leur association présumée avec une faune fossile. Cependant, très peu d’informations ont été publiées concernant le site. Par conséquent, de nombreuses ambiguïtés demeurent sans réponses autour du gi…
On the age of Ain Hanech Oldowan locality (Algeria)
Assessing the subsistence strategies of the earliest North African inhabitants
The archaeological data on the earliest hominin behavioral subsistence activities in North Africa are derived primarily from the Early Pleistocene site of Ain Boucherit (northeastern Algeria). Ain Boucherit consists of two archaeological layers, Ain Boucherit Upper (AB-Up) and Ain Boucherit Lower (AB-Lw), estimated to ~ 1.9 Ma and ~ 2.4 Ma, respectively. Cutmarked and hammerstone percussed bones associated with Oldowan stone tools were found in b…
Million- and 2.4-million-year-old artifacts and stone tool–cutmarked bones from Ain Boucherit, Algeria
Early humans in northern Africa Evidence for the earliest stone tools produced by human ancestors (from ∼2.6 million years ago) has hitherto come from East Africa. Sahnouni et al. report the discovery of Oldowan stone artifacts and associated cutmarks on fossil bones excavated in Algeria, with the earliest dated to 2.4 million years ago. Thus, hominins inhabited the Mediterranean fringe in North Africa earlier than commonly believed. Furthermore,…

Human Skull from the Taza Locality, Jijel, Algeria
Archaeological excavations were carried out in 1990 in prehistorically inhabited caves sites in the Taza locality along the eastern Algerian coast. Recovered materials included stone and bone artifacts, faunal remains and a single human skull (Taza 1). A radiocarbon date for the upper cave level from which the skull was found was 16,100 B.P. While the skull, which is likely female, is very small overall, its shape compared closely with other Nort…
