Bulletin de la Société préhistorique française - Année 1987 - Volume 84 - Numéro 6 - Pages 186-192
ABSTRACT In the Gâret el-Hara rock-art site, the most oriental discovered in the Shâti area, were found 89 engravings only, — the earliest of them belonging to the local Hunters-Pastoralists, — but some of these representations are of great interest : bovid with a tether or with a circular horn-sign, man riding a bovid, Antelope probably caught in a trap, and several footprints of unidentified ruminants, which have homologues in various saharan sites, and are certainly related, to the solemnity generally attached by the primitives to the contacts with the ground.
