Where these data come from
First data on Wanar Megalithic necropole ceramic material (Senegal)

Abstract

Excavations conducted since 2005 on the megalithic necropolis of Wanar, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, have already contributed to point out the complexity of funeral practices and of architectural remains. This paper aims to report first data about ceramics from the 2005 and 2008 campaigns on the graveyard. The stratigraphic positions of pottery deposits located on the eastern side of stone-circles will be explored, leading to a new account on the period of time during which these monuments were used. Parallels will also be drawn also about a pottery unearthed in 2005, unusual in size, morphology and probably in function.
