Description
The rock art of south Oran, are prehistoric engravings of Neolithic age in the cave of Aïn Sfissifa, south of Oran Province, Algeria. Conjectures on the identities of the artists have been many. Some have believed them to belong to the black populations ancestral to the Mandinka and the Hausas. However, in the absence of discoveries in the region of neolithic human remains and of an adequate understanding of the ambiguity of the images, to make absolute identification or any definitive option should be avoided.
