摘要：
The aim of this study is to directly radiocarbon date pottery from prehistoric rock-art shelters in the Tassili n'Ajjer (central Sahara). We used a combined geochemical and microscopic approach to determine plant material in the pottery prior to direct C-14 dating. The ages obtained range from 5270 +/- 35 BP (6276-5948 cal BP) to 8160 +/- 45 BP (9190-9015 cal BP), and correlate with the chronology derived from pottery typology. Our results document the transition from pre-Pastoral to Pastoral contexts, dated to the early-mid Holocene transition, and confirm that vegetal temper in pottery can provide reliable C-14 ages within Saharan contexts.
