The Bone Artifact Collection from Wadi Ti-n-Torha (Northern Tadrart Akakus, Libya): A Reappraisal Based on Technological Analysis.
The development of technological analysis at the end of the 1900s made it possible to explore new aspects of the production of artifacts from animal materials, especially bones and teeth, by Holocene Saharan societies. Here, we reappraise a selected set of these artifacts excavated from the shelter...

Here, we reappraise a selected set of these artifacts excavated from the shelter sites of Ti-n-Torha Two Caves, Ti-n-Torha East, and Ti-n-Torha North, in the Libyan desert of the Tadrart Akakus. These sites were occupied from ca. 10,500 cal BP to 6050 cal BP, first by hunter-gatherer groups, and then by pastoralists. New methodologies have allowed us to identify trends in the selection of raw materials, animal species, and the methods and techniques used in the manufacture of the objects. Stylistic choices, in particular, are one of the most representative traits of the pre-pastoral groups that occupied this area; they are also perhaps the first evidence for significant continuity across the three sites in the mode of production of objects from teeth and bones. Résumé: Le développement de l'étude technologique à la fin des années 1900 a permis d'explorer de nouveaux aspects de la production matérielle d'origine animale, en particulier les os et les dents, dans les sociétés holocènes sahariennes. Sur ce type de tendance méthodologique se fonde la réévaluation récente d'un échantillon sélectionné d'objets en os et dent provenant des sites en abri de Ti-n-Torha Deux Grottes, Ti-n-Torha Est and Ti-n-Torha Nord, dans le désert libyen du Tadrart Akakus. Ces sites ont montré une occupation sur le territoire allant de 10,500 cal BP à 6050 cal BP. Les données que nous présentons nous permettent d'introduire certaines tendances dans la sélection des matières premières, des espèces animales, et des méthodes et des techniques choisies dans la fabrication des artefacts. Les choix stylistiques en particulier sont l'un des traits les plus représentatifs des groupes pré-pastoraux qui ont occupé ces zones et, peut-être, un premier élément significatif de continuité dans le système de production des matières des origines animale dans les trois sites. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: African Archaeological Review is a copyright of Springer, 2021.
