Classification et chronologie de bas fourneaux de réduction du fer à usage unique au sud-ouest du Niger
In southwestern Niger, near Niamey, several thousand singleuse bloomery furnaces have been mapped and identified. The archaeological study of approximately 30 furnaces and their slag reveals the existence of four methods for iron smelting: three types of pit furnace and one slag-tapping type. The slag pit furnaces are clearly differentiated by the form and volume of their pits. All slag-tapping furnaces drain off slag through small openings. The …
Analyse de l’organisation spatiale de deux sites de production du fer dans le Sud-Ouest du Niger
Dans la région du Sud-Ouest du Niger, des bas fourneaux à usage unique ont été identifiés lors d’une prospection archéologique. À Saga Gorou, dans les environs de Niamey, un inventaire exhaustif de 4 504 bas fourneaux permet de proposer une analyse spatiale au sein d’un bassin versant, de 32 km2, représentatif du paysage sahélien. Les sites métallurgiques de Bilfouda et de Garbel ont les plus fortes concentrations de bas fourneaux. Chacun d’eux a…
L’état de l'archéologie au Niger
C'est avec plaisir que j'ai accepté l'invitation du comité éditorial de la revue Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa de faire le point en ce qui concerne les recherches archéologiques au Niger. Il s'agit dans un premier temps d'un bref aperçu historique du contexte de la recherche archéologique au Niger; ensuite d'un survol des différentes missions de 1959 à 2007 en mettant l'accent sur les problèmes y afférents et enfin des perspectives po…
Lakeside Cemeteries in the Sahara: 5000 Years of Holocene Population and Environmental Change
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…
The Projet Sahel 2004: An archaeological sequence in the Parc W, Niger
Projet SAHEL, a multidisciplinary project, was initiated to investigate long-term patterns of human occupation in the environmentally sensitive and archaeologically under- researched Sahel. This paper outlines an initial field survey carried out in this context in December 2004, in the Mékrou Valley, Parc W, Niger. This pilot study incorporated specialists in Palaeolithic and historic archaeology, and aimed to refine our understanding of the chro…
