Des expressions, des pratiques sociales, des savoir-faire et des connaissances sont les genres principaux du patrimoine culturel immatériel. Longtemps laissés au seul bon vouloir ou pouvoir des individus, groupes ou communautés qui les détiennent ou les pratiquent, nombre d’entre eux ont disparu ou sont menacés de disparition tandis que d’autres se transforment à l’image de la société elle-même. Certains font l’objet d’une sollicitude de la part des communautés et des pouvoirs publics. Une infime minorité, enfin, parvient à la reconnaissance internationale. Ce livre est consacré aux sept éléments inscrits sur la Liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’humanité mise en place par l’UNESCO. Il s’agit de l’Espace culturel de la Place Jemaâ el-Fna, du Moussem de Tan-Tan, de la Fauconnerie, de la Diète méditerranéenne, du Festival des cerises de Sefrou et de l’Argan, pratiques et savoir-faire liés à l’arganier. S’il entend faire connaître ces éléments devenus illustres, il attire l’attention sur l’ensemble des manifestations du patrimoine culturel immatériel que recèle le territoire marocain, surtout celles menacées de disparition. Le livre est préfacé par Mohamed Amine Sbihi, ministre de la Culture du Maroc (2012-2016). Il est dirigé par Saad Hossini et Ahmed Skounti et coordonné par Fatima Aït Mhand. Les textes sont écrits par Fatima Aït Mhand, Rahma Miri, Mustapha Nami, Morad Riffi et Ahmed Skounti.

La fragilité de ces ressources et leur potentiel en termes de développement durable appelle les pouvoirs publics et les acteurs locaux à redoubler d'efforts pour en assurer la préservation au profit des générations actuelles et futures. La proposition émane d'un projet de recherche mené entre 2004 et 2007 dans le cadre d'un partenariat entre l'Institut national des sciences de l'archéologie et du patrimoine (Maroc) et le Centro Studi e Museo d'Arte prehistorica de Pinerolo (Italie). Coordonné par Abdelkhalek Lemjidi et Dario Seglie, il a vu la participation de plusieurs chercheurs italiens et marocains.

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 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.

The aim was to obtain detailed data on the first farming communities in the northern part of Morocco. Two test pits were dug in Grotte B and Grotte C and bioarchaeological samples (both archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological) were taken with the aim of reconstructing the subsistence system of these communities and the origins of farming. In addition, geoarchaeological sampling was also carried out which will allow reconstructing the palaeoenvironmental history of the region."
