Le Bronze ancien du Ramlat as Sabatayn (Yémen) : Deux nécropoles de la première moitié du IIIe millénaire à la bordure du désert : Jebel Jidran et Jebel Ruwaiq

Abstract: Le Yémen de l'âge du Bronze est encore fort mal connu. Les cadres solides qui commencent à être établis pour les hauts plateaux , manquaient à peu près totalement pour la zone du désert du Ramlat as-Sabatayn et l'est du pays. Les travaux menés sur deux nécropoles montrent l 'existence dans la première moitié du IIIe millénaire de groupes sociaux à structure sans doute complexe, pratiquant l'élevage sur les zones steppiques. Ces groupes utilisent communément une céramique fort élaborée. Ces nouvelles données mo… Show more

“…While some of the earliest irrigation structures are located in the uppermost layers of accumulated silt, indicating construction just before or during the onset of increasing aridity, more arid conditions after the mid-fourth millennium led irrigators to avoid perilous main channels and instead divert water from small tributaries and hillslopes for capture behind check dams. High circular (cairn) tombs dated predominantly to the late fourth and third millennium elsewhere in Yemen (Braemer et al 2001;de Maigret 2002, 329-40;Steimer-Herbet 1999Steimer-Herbet, Davtian, and Braemer 2006) concurrently stood in high-visibility areas along cliff lines marking presence, affiliation, and ancestry (figs. 3 and 4).…”

“…4), similar to late fourth-to third-millennium types found throughout the Arabian Peninsula (e.g., Braemer et al 2001;Cleuziou 2002, 196-97;Cleuziou and Méry 2002, 283-86;Potts 1993, 183), attest to important changes in ideologies of territoriality linked with some of South Arabia's earliest irrigation. High circular tombs are found throughout Yemen, including in clusters of approximately 1,500 at Jebel Jidran and about 3,000 at Jebel Ruwaik in the Ramlat as-Sab'atayn Desert (Braemer et al 2001;Steimer-Herbet 1999. Roughly analogous types can be found as far away as the Sinai and Syria (SteimerHerbet 2004), and given their wide distribution and diversity, their social connotations undoubtedly varied.…”

“…Some can be seen on the imagery but more readily visible are the funerary fields with dozens of Pendants in close proximity and often with very long slender tails. Thousands of such tombs are commonly found on high ground along the routes linking settlements (Braemer et al, 2001;De Maigret, 2009: 325e42) (Fig. 23).…”

“…A strong symbolization appears also in this architecture with elements referring to unknown concepts eg tombs' tails, drawings inside dolmen-like structures… (Herbert, S. 2003) the dwelling structures are very rarely found and until now mostly known from the Yemeni highlands (Braemer, et al 2001). The Bronze Age period is mostly known thanks to the discoveries of numerous tombs and cemeteries characterized by megalithic architecture.…”
