Abstract

International audience; La Namibie est riche de plusieurs centaines de milliers de peintures rupestres situées au cœur d’enjeux sociaux-économiques majeurs. Le massif de l’Erongo au centre ouest du pays possède de nombreuses peintures, généralement attribuées aux populations chasseurs-cueilleurs San, peuplant l’Afrique Australe depuis plusieurs milliers d’années. La chronologie et les auteurs de cet art pariétal restent majoritairement inconnus de par le manque de données archéologiques associées. Les fouilles menées depuis 2007 sur le site de Leopard Cave (Erongo) ont attesté la présence sur le gisement d’une chaine opératoire de préparation des matières colorantes. En effet, elles ont mis en évidence la présence de pigments sur une paroi jusque-là recouverte par des sédiments et de collecter, dans des niveaux datés de près de 3000 ans, des blocs de pigments, des meules et des pilons. Ce poster présente les premiers résultats d’une étude in situ réalisée par XRF portable, premières analyses de la nature des pigments de l’art pariétal du massif de l’Erongo, constituant ainsi une étude pionnière dans l’étude des matières colorantes de l’art pariétal namibien. Ces analyses in situ seront complétées par des études de provenance et si possible des datations de certaines figures de ce phénomène pictural particulier.

Abstract

Fossil freshwater molluscan shells and steinkerns have been found at Simanya, on the Southwestern Bank of the Cubango River in Northern Namibia. The occurrence of fossils resembles those reported from other sites in the « Grès Polymorphes » subunit of the Kalahari System of Central Africa. The aim of this paper is to describe and interpret the Simanya fossils and to discuss their stratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental contexts. The silicified deposits (chert, chalcedony) in which the snails occur were extensively used by prehistoric peoples for manufacturing of stone tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Namibia has one of the most outstanding, diverse and extensive rock art records in Southern Africa. The country's Rock art database currently holds detailed records of both paintings and engravings found in various settings. However, some of these sites have been recorded and published, while others remained unrecorded and unpublished. This paper attempts to highlight the history of rock art research in Namibia over the last 50 years to date, the period where increased research activities has been observed in the region; by examining where rock art research has been focused, looking at the different site's settings, distribution, content, traditions, ethno-archaeological analogues, style, chronology and the aspects of management and conservation of the rock art sites in Namibia. Furthermore, we will critically discuss some of the challenges of studying rock art in Namibia, current research trends and future research perspectives. Here, I present an overview of rock art research in Namibia where 1 examine where rock art research has been focused and finally critically discuss some of the challenges of studying rock art in Namibia, current research trends and future research perspectives.
