Contextes et âge des nouveaux restes dentaires humains du Pléistocène moyen de la carrière Thomas I à Casablanca (Maroc)

Abstract: Un outillage lithique acheuléen, une riche faune du Pléistocène moyen et quatre dents d'hominidés ont été extraites du remplissage de la cavité de la carrière Thomas I, célèbre depuis la découverte en 1969 d'une hémimandibule humaine. Depuis 1988, des fouilles sont conduites dans ce site dans le cadre du programme franco-marocain «Casablanca ». Une riche faune mammalienne et quelques restes de reptiles et d'oiseaux sont associés à l'industrie lithique dans l'unité stratigraphique 4. La faune, introduite par le… Show more

“…At Garba XII in level J (900 ka), both symmetrical and crude bifaces dominate polyhedrons and large flakes (Gallotti, 2013). Large flakes are commonly used in some sites, whereas in North Africa at Thomas Quarry I level L (1 Ma), Sidi Abderrhamane STIC L1 L2/level F extension site or Tighenif (800 ka), LCTs are partial, picklike and frequently unifacial on pebbles and flakes (Raynal et al, 2001(Raynal et al, , 2011. Some of these features are common to la Noira; for instance, twisted bifaces on obsidian are observed at Gombore II (800 ka), mainly on large flakes (Gallotti et al, 2010).…”

“…GH is a large cavity that belongs to a complex paleo-shoreline cut into lower Midde Pleistocene formations [ 61 – 63 ]. Marine and overlaying continental sedimentary deposits preserved in GH ( Fig 1B ) are dated to the Middle and Upper Pleistocene by OSL [ 64 ], and based on lithostratigraphic [ 65 , 66 , 61 , 62 ] and biochronological evidences [ 67 – 69 ].…”

“…Its detailed microstratigraphy reveals a complex history of sedimentary and post-depositional processes driven by semi-arid conditions. Unit 4 contains lithic artefacts, a rich mammalian macrofauna that is supplemented by the addition of a few reptiles and birds, and hominin fossils ( Fig 2 ) [ 70 , 22 , 60 , 65 , 66 ]. Without any apparent discontinuity, Unit 4 rests on plurimetric collapsed blocks of older calcarenites imbedded in coarse sands and calcirudite with a coarse coquinoid matrix that form stratigraphic Unit 5.…”
