| Περίληψη: | Enhanced by a rare geographical structure, the prehistory of the Zouerate region is of an exceptional wealth. Mountainous reliefs rich in lithical raw materials, a huge lacustrous depression, dunes stretches and extensive planes have made of that region a crossroads of influences during prehistory times: Since the Oldovayen, all the cultures – Acheulean, Middle Paleolithic, Aterian, Epipaleolithic and Neolithic – are densely present. Unfortunately, the region which has been stripped off and partially destroyed by the mining expansion, is hardly researched. Nevertheless, by gathering all the available data such as the scientific work and disparate notes; the collection of objects – which generally have privileged the Hammami – on the Azrag border; exchanges with those concerned since the 1960s; information brought in by Google Earth; comparisons with the neighbouring regions etc...), it has been possible to present a synthesis which aims to be a starting point for more robust research which is long due. |
