Differential Taphonomic Behavior of Flint Types
Several syn and post-depositional processes are responsible for different degrees of site and assemblage formation and disturbance. Understanding the processes that lead to archaeological site formation is essential for interpreting past human activities, settlement patterns, and occupation dynamics. Among these processes, water flow is commonly recognized as a major factor influencing site and assemblage formation and integrity. Lithic taphonomy…
The medieval burial assemblage from Koudiet er Rammadiya, Northern Tunisia. An interdisciplinary bioarchaeological investigation
The osteological analysis of human skeletal assemblages offers crucial osteobiographical insights into ancient populations, yet remains largely unexplored in past Tunisia. This paper presents the first archaeological investigation of Tunisian medieval burials, unearthed during excavations between 2016–2017 and 2021–2022. This interdisciplinary study, combining archaeology, bioarchaeology, and paleopathology, examines skeletons from Koudiet er Ram…
Sidi Zin Archaeological Project
The Sidi Zin Archaeological Project aims to bridge understanding of the Acheulean-Middle Stone Age transition in northern Tunisia, a relatively understudied region in the context of hominin evolution. The Sidi Zin locality will provide chronological, palaeoenvironmental, geomorphological and cultural insights into Acheulean and Middle Stone Age occupations in Tunisia
Hommage. Rached Jaballi (1988-2023)
La préhistoire et la protohistoire tunisiennes sont en deuil. Nous venons de perdre le docteur Rached Jaballi préhistorien et conservateur du patrimoine à l’Institut National du Patrimoine (Tunisie). Né en 1988 à Kasserine en Tunisie, le Docteur Rached Jaballi nous a quittés le jeudi 16 Mars 2023 suite à un accident mortel de la route survenu alors qu’il dirigeait des fouilles archéologiques à Khanguet Essloughi à Kasserine en Tunisie centrale.

Nouvelles données sur les occupations humaines dans la zone côtière de l’oued el Akarit au Pléistocène supérieur (Tunisie méridionale)
Connus depuis les années trente du siècle dernier, les multiples sites préhistoriques de plein air de l’Oued el Akarit sont situés sur les deux rives de son cours inférieur qui est très encaissé dans la plaine littorale et se jette dans le golfe de Gabès au sud-est de la Tunisie. L’Oued el Akarit est délimité par la Méditerranée à l’est (le rivage actuel est à environ 4 km des sites préhistoriques), les chotts (un milieu endoréique fermé), et les…
The status of minority species and young individuals of the terrestrial malacofauna in Capsian and Neolithic populations in eastern Maghreb
The rammadiyet (or “escargotières”) in the Eastern Maghreb are enormous shell-midden complexes made by people during the Capsian Epipalaeolithic and the Neolithic. Mollusc assemblages in all rammadiyet are dominated by between one to four land snail species. Other, rarer – minority - species, and young land snails are present in all these sites. Of these minority and young molluscs, only large species, such as Cornu aspersum, could have contribut…
Contribution à la connaissance des occupations préhistoriques au Pléistocène supérieur en Tunisie
New insights into the late Middle Stone Age occupation of Oued el Akarit, southern Tunisia
This article reports on a new project to investigate the activities of early Homo sapiens in the area of the Chotts ‘megalake’ in southern Tunisia. Excavations in 2015 and 2019 at Oued el Akarit revealed one of a number of Middle Stone Age (MSA) horizons near the top of a long sequence of Upper Pleistocene deposits. The site identified as Oued el Akarit ( Sondage 8 ) consists of lithic artefacts, bone fragments of large ungulates and pieces of os…
Changing Plant-based Subsistence Practices among Early and Middle Holocene Communities in Eastern Maghreb
The eastern Maghreb is a key area for understanding environmental and cultural dynamics during the early and middle Holocene. Capsian populations from around 10000–7500 cal BP were among the last foragers in the region. Capsian sites are known as escargotières (land shell middens), and locally called rammadiyat (meaning ashy mound). As taphonomic conditions in Capsian open-air sites generally favour the preservation of resistant materials such as…

The emergence of the Neolithic in North Africa
Holocene environment and subsistence patterns from Capsian and Neolithic sites in Tunisia
L’économie de subsistance dans la cuvette de Meknassy (Sidi Bouzid, Tunisie centrale) durant l’Holocène d’après l’étude malacologique
Malacological studies using land-snail shells found on archaeological sites are very scarce in the Maghreb, although such remains are the main constituent of Holocene sites known locally as rammadiyet. In this paper, the open-air prehistoric sites studied belong to the Upper Capsian culture. The Capsian culture is one of the Epipalaeolithic cultures found in the Maghreb and is inherent to Tunisia and eastern Algeria. Capsian open-air sites are hu…
Néolithisation et néolithique de Tunisie
Introduction En Tunisie plusieurs sites de l’Holocène moyen et final ont été anciennement attribués au Néolithique. Ces attributions culturelles reposaient sur la présence d’outils lithiques tels que les pointes de flèche, les haches et herminettes polies, le matériel de broyage, certains microlithes géométriques (rectangles) ainsi que sur des tessons de céramiques. Concernant, la définition même d’un site néolithique, nous optons désormais pour …
