Shoreline dynamics and cultural heritage sites in Kenya, Tanzania, and Senegal
Coastal areas in Africa are vital for settlement, livelihoods, and socio–economic development, and host diverse heritage sites from the early Stone Age to the present. However, these sites face growing threats from development and climate change. The absence of regional sea level models and digitized archaeological records hampers effective threat mapping and mitigation. A new digital dataset documents the distribution and characteristics of arch…
Remapping the Senegambian megaliths
Between 1969 and 1982, Victor Martin and Charles Becker led a series of reconnaissance missions to document thousands of sites for their Inventaire des Sites Protohistoriques de la Sénégambie. This dataset has since become a cornerstone in the archaeology of central Senegambia, where site distribution maps continue to define a “Megalith Zone” and provide context for excavations at well-known type-sites. However, we argue that spatial and quantita…
Les mégalithes du Sénégal et de la Gambie dans leur contexte régional
Les architectures en pierre du mégalithisme sénégambien ont longtemps été considérées comme une entité autonome sur une partie du continent africain qui, traditionnellement, privilégie plutôt les constructions en terre crue. Nos connaissances sur ces monuments furent profondément modifiées par dix ans de recherches archéologiques sur la nécropole mégalithique de Wanar (Sénégal), classée au titre du patrimoine mondial de l’humanité. Cet article a …
L’Art et la manière
Among the many characteristics of the Senegalese and Gambian megalithic phenomenon, the deposition of pottery on the eastern edge of funerary structures is a recurrent practice present throughout the excavated sites. In the western part of the megalithic area, ceramics are generally located between the standing stone-circles and one or more frontal stones erected east of monuments. With the exception of morphological and decorative aspects, no te…
