Cet ouvrage reprend en l’actualisant une étude que le Professeur Alain Gallay avait entreprise dans les années 1980 sur l’organisation des campements de Touareg de Djanet qui avaient accompagné à deux reprises un groupe de touristes européens au Hoggar et au Tassili des Adjers. Cette étude est, pour l’auteur, l’occasion de développer les questions théoriques touchant l’analyse des structures spatiales de campements légers en relation avec des populations mobiles, tant chez les chasseurs-cueilleurs comme les Inuit de l’Alaska et les San du Kalahari, que chez les éleveurs de rennes sibériens, les horticulteurs papou d’Irian Jaya, ou encore les grands nomades sahariens comme les Touareg. Nous touchons ici aux fondements mêmes de la démarche ethnoarchéologique et aux questions concernant la confrontation de l’ethnologie et de l’archéologie.

The manipulation of fire by early hominins was a turning point in our evolutionary history. Once "domesticated", fire provided warmth, light and protection from predators, as well as enabling the exploitation of a new range of foods. This book presents the spatial analyses of burned and unburned flint items which provide evidence for the controlled use of fire at the 790,000-year-old Acheulian site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov (GBY). Clusters of burned flint, interpreted as the remnants of hearths, occur throughout the entire occupational sequence of the site. The fact that fire is repetitively used suggests that the knowledge of fire-making and the technological skills of the Acheulian hominins of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov enabled them to set fire at will in diverse environmental settings. "Control of fire marks a significant landmark in human evolution, providing warmth, protection, and many new foods. This important volume compellingly shows that fire was already in regular use some 800,000 years ago." John D. Speth, Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA "A major contribution to knowledge of early human fire history, the finds at Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov add immensely to the picture of our early ancestors by the fireside. The authors present a painstaking and multidimensional scientific investigation which should convince even sceptics of the importance of fire use in prehistory" John A.J. Gowlett, British Academy Centenary Research Project, The Archaeology of the Social Brain, UK.
