Zoui, a village in the Tibesti Mountains (Chad), was once a lively and prosperous place. Today, however, most of its inhabitants have left it. How did the once flourishing Zoui become the almost abandoned village it is today?

In the present contribution, the author will follow Zoui's inhabitants, acting as « local archaeologists » and contextualizing remains and their histories in timescapes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
