Abstract
Over the past 20,000 years, climatic and environmental conditions in the Sahara have undergone profound upheavals. The recomposition of landscapes, the migration or disappearance of certain wild fauna - these are just some of the processes that have led human societies to change and adapt their relationships with the animal world to these changing and more or less restrictive conditions. Using faunal bones from archaeological sites, but also comparing them with rock sources, this presentation will seek to illustrate the evolution of wild fauna in the Sahara, as well as the adoption and spread of livestock farming, which took many forms, reflecting the great environmental and cultural diversity of the region.
