dc.description.abstractEvidence for livestock found in West African Holocene sites are considered in relation to patterns of settlement distribution in the context of changing climatic circumstances. The development of livestock husbandry appears to coincide with the advent of a drier Middle Holocene climatic, followed by a relatively fast expansion all over West Africa. Pastoral nomadic strategies developed in the northern Saharan part are hardly distinguishable from Late Stone Age settlement-subsistence traditions, while genuine agro-pastoral systems emerged in the south, along the Sahara-Sahel margins. In all the cases, stone tumuli burials, rock art stations, and intermittent or permanent settlements were used.en
