Abstract

Main objectives of the project and principal results of field campaigns are summarized. Our hypothesis was that the valley was occupied not before the Mid Holocene, associated to environmental changes caused by the displacement of the summer monsoon and the onset of more arid conditions. Also that it was the value of bovines as mobile wealth, the reason behind the first summer trips to Oukaïmeden, profiting of snow melting and wet pastures in the valley. The control of critical resources as summer pastures could be underlying into the act of carving rock art.<br />Se resumen los principales objetivos del proyecto y los resultados de las campañas de campo. Nuestra hipótesis de partida era que el valle de Oukaïmeden se ocupó tardíamente, no antes del Holoceno medio en que el cambio de régimen de los monzones de verano produjo la implantación de condiciones climáticas más áridas. Asimismo, que el valor de los bóvidos como riqueza móvil pudo ser la razón de las primeras visitas estivales a Oukaïmeden, aprovechando los pastos húmedos fruto del deshielo. El control de recursos críticos como los pastos estivales podría ser el motivo subyacente a la realización de los grabados.
