Les monuments funéraires et cultuels du Sahara central (Algérie) : définitions et classifications

Abstract

The funerary monuments and cult constructions of the central Sahara are numerous and varied. They have been the subject of several studies and attempts at classification. The latter allowed us to better understand and identify these architectures. In this work, we try to use a critical analysis of the different classifications associated with our field experiences in order to carry out a classification and elaborate an adequate and more simplified nomenclature to better address the issues raised by the study of such structures and their relationship to the other archaeological features with which they interact.
