Description: The Aterian culture receives its name from the archaeological site of Bir-el-Ater, in Algeria. It originated in North Africa, later spreading throughout the Maghreb to the Sahara desert. The time limits covered by this culture are, even today, under constant review.
Therefore, we can appreciate in the same African period a whole technocultural horizon that encompasses the entire Middle Paleolithic and a good part of the European Upper Paleolithic.
