Palaeolithic
In the 70’s and 80’s, research conducted in the Falémé Valley yielded to identify numerous Palaeolithic sites of different periods and cultures. However no precise chronological frame was available to understand the chronocultural succession and the patterns of occupation of the region. Since 2012, our team has developed a research project in the Falémé Valley which is compared to Ounjougou (Mali), the only sequence of reference for the Palaeolithic of West Africa.

Colonial period
In Africa, if the architecture and functioning of Europeans coastal establishments are relatively well known, it is not the case for continental establishments whose plans are rarely available. They nevertheless represent the first step of the transition into the colonial period. The discovery of a French fort in the region of the Falémé Valley brings new elements on the European penetration into the African continent and on the way of life of these first “expatriates”.
