These Buildings that Construct Territories and Cultural Landscapes
A territory is a lived space, anthropized, transformed by a process of interaction between man and his natural environment. The buildings and constructions, whatever they are, are part of space configuration and fully materialize the appropriation of the territory and its heritage status.
Several categories of buildings are major characteristics of an area. Architectures take many forms and can theoretically be arranged in a pyramid form whose base is constituted on habitats such as Ksour-s and large communal villages, while the top part is formed with little
buildings like traditional tanks (maṭfiya -s). The constructed territories, sometimes taking the form of cultural landscapes, endure the current changes introducing new architectural paradigms and new territorial configurations, especially in rural areas.
Keywords: Architecture, Buildings, Area, Territory, Landscape, Heritage, Modernity.

The paleontological richness of Morocco has been scientifically known since at least the early 20th century. The region of the Middle Atlas, more specifically the Boulemane area, has been however only sparsely studied since the 1960s when it provided vertebrate fossils from the Middle Jurassic. In September 2013, a Moroccan-Portuguese expedition to the village of Taghrout, Boulemane, made excavations in a Pleistocene fossil site that once was a small high-altitude sedimentary basin, uncharted in previous geological maps. The excavations yielded bone material from large mammals, the most common findings are elephants ascribed to Elephas, but artiodactyls, turtles, and in-situ Acheulean tools were also collected. This represents a new and important paleontological and archeological site. In addition to the discoveries of Taghrout, the expedition also retrieved Quaternary vertebrate material from a nearby cave and found new Jurassic localities, with arcosaur bones and dinosaur footprints, in El Mers.
