Résumé: | Lake Faguibine is linked to the complex watersystem of the Niger Inland Delta in Mali. A former outlet, the “Sonni Ali channel”, extends westwards to the lake depression. Late Neolithic and Protohistoric sites are established on the dune field of its northern shore. The region was densely occupied at the time when the floods of the Niger were feeding the watercourse. The abundant ceramic shows affinities with the Late Neolithic cultural facies of the Mema in Mali. The remains of fish as the dominating fauna characterize sites of periodic fishing, although hunting and breeding activities are also established. |
