EnglishBetween December 2015 and January 2016, the fifth phase of fieldwork was developed in the Tamanart Valley (Tata) and Azguer (Tan Tan). On this occasion, as in March and April 2015, a campaign dedicated exclusively to the documentation of rock art was scheduled. The interdisciplinary studies carried out in the previous years (geology and petrology, topography, archaeological survey, physical-chemical analyses...) are still being processed in the study and the laboratory.

This fieldwork permits us to discover a new phase of engraving in this large slab, dated from ‘‘bovidian’’ period. In particular, in the low part of the slab, close to the wadi ridge and partially filled in by alluvial sediments, we found a bovidian scene very complex and with exceptional concentration of figures. This scene sill be analysed here, in its internal composition and in the perspective of its relations with others rock-art sites of the same region. This ‘‘rediscovery’’ of Azrou Klane site allows to take its importance into account and to consider this site like one of the highlights of Maroccan rock art.

The site is of high relevance for a comprehensive approach of archaeology of the whole Eastern Jbel Bani which lays to the South-West of Zagora, in the presaharan fringes of Morocco. A Moroccan-Italian research programme has been set up to study these paintings in their whole ethnoarchaeological context. The first fieldwork has been undertaken from 10 to 25 of October 2009 by a pluridisciplinary team composed by four prehistorians, one anthropologist and one geologist. The drawings have been made of red ochre, white, black and yellow, on the inner sides of five shelters at the edge of a dry river. Besides the inventory and study of these paintings, the fieldwork has undertaken an extensive prospection in the whole of the plateau of Tafraout-n-Taska. Comprehensive interviews have also been conducted with the chiefs of a couple of Aït Atta nomadic families that a...
