Prehistoric Monuments, Burials, Rock Art, And Rituals Of The Tangier Peninsula, Northwestern Africa

Conny Waters - AncientPages.com - The Tangier Peninsula, located on the northwestern African side of the Strait of Gibraltar, occupies a unique location that has operated since the Late Stone Age as a connecting gateway between Europe and Africa, as well as the inner Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Within this area, archaeologists Hamza Benattia, Jorge Onrubia-Pintado, and Youssef Bokbot from the University of Barcelona, the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain, and the National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage in Morocco aimed to find dig sites that could reveal evidence of human existence from c. 3000 to 500 BC.

Except for fieldwork, they also used radiocarbon dating and GIS-based analysis, which showed that the ritual landscapes of the Tangier Peninsula are far more complex and widespread than previously thought.

However, the team also noted certain characteristics similar to those observed in late prehistoric southern Iberia, and Sahara (pre-Sahara).
