Abstract

The Tichitt culture of the Ceramic Late Stone Age is known for its large settlement sites, built from dry stone walls. It is centered on the cliffs of southeastern Mauritania, but its links to the Middle Niger and the later urban developments there have long been a topic of research. This article adds a further piece of evidence linking the two regions. The available evidence for a set of stone-walled features is presented, around 300 sites of varying sizes and complexity. They lie on and around the sandstone massifs of the Malian Lakes Region. The evidence is so far tentative as no dating or material culture is available, but the sites are presented as a research priority for the future.

提契特文化与马里湖区

陶瓷晚石器时代的蒂奇特文化以其用干石墙建造的大型聚落遗址而闻名。它以毛里塔尼亚东南部的悬崖为中心，但它与尼日尔中部的联系以及那里后来的城市发展一直是研究的主题。本文进一步补充了将这两个地区联系起来的证据。本文介绍了一系列石墙地貌的现有证据，包括约 300 个大小和复杂程度不一的遗址。这些遗址位于马里湖区的砂岩丘及其周围。到目前为止，这些证据都是初步的，因为没有任何年代测定或物质文化资料，但这些遗址被列为未来研究的重点。

期刊介绍： African Archaeological Review publishes original research articles, review essays, reports, book/media reviews, and forums/commentaries on African archaeology, highlighting the contributions of the African continent to critical global issues in the past and present. Relevant topics include the emergence of modern humans and earliest manifestations of human culture; subsistence, agricultural, and technological innovations; and social complexity, as well as topical issues on heritage. The journal features timely continental and subcontinental studies covering cultural and historical processes; interregional interactions; biocultural evolution; cultural dynamics and ecology; the role of cultural materials in politics, ideology, and religion; different dimensions of economic life; the application of historical, textual, ethnoarchaeological, and archaeometric data in archaeological interpretation; and the intersections of cultural heritage, information technology, and community/public archaeology.
