Abstract
Abstract Recent field research in the sandstone massif of the Tadrart (far southeastern Algeria) proved the existence of a highly original group of rock engravings which we named ‘Kel Essuf' and whose characteristics are described in the following. We are dealing with a regional facies, since this type of engravings is limited to the Tadrart (including some Libyan Tadrart sites). As the paintings of the Round Head Period overlie the engravings of ‘Kel Essuf', we suggest it is an ancient, probably Pleistocene, facies. Several representations indicate that there were no major ruptures marking the transition between ‘Kel Essuf' and Round Heads.
