Les origines préhistoriques et paléoberbères des Touaregs à travers l'art rupestre saharien:
Pour
remonter aux origines préhistoriques et paléoberbères
du peuple touareg, les spécialistes font appel à
deux grandes catégories de sources: celle de l'archéologie
et celle de l'histoire de l'Antiquité. Les sources
archéologiques sont la paléo-anthropologie
(l'étude des restes osseux11es monuments funéraires
et l'art rupestre. Les sources historiques disposent de
l'iconographie égyptienne et des témoignages
des auteurs gréco-Iatins. Les architectures funéraires
sahariennes se comptent par milliers] mais malgré

celles du Tassili des Ajjer celles-ci n'ont pas encore livré
tout leur potentiel de connaissances, notamment sur le type
anthropologique physique des anciens Berbères qui
y ont été inhumés. Les sources paléo-anthropologiques
ne sont certes pas négligeables dans la région
du Maghreb où des nécropoles ont livré
quelques centaines de squelettes entiers de Mechtoïdes
(Hommes des sites éponymes de Mechta-Afalou, en Algérie)
et de Pro méditerranéens Capsiens (Hommes
