Dhar Tichitt is a Neolithic archaeological site located in the southwestern region of the Sahara Desert in Mauritania. It is one of several settlement locations along the sandstone cliffs in the area. Tichitt culture includes Dhar Tichitt, Dhar Walata, Dhar Néma, and Dhar Tagant, and possibly sites from the Malian Lakes Region. Dhar Tichitt, which includes Dakhlet el Atrouss, may have served as the primary regional center for the multi-tiered hierarchical social structure of the Tichitt Tradition, and the Malian Lakes Region, which includes Tondidarou, may have served as a second regional center of the Tichitt Tradition. The cliffs of Dhar Tichitt were inhabited by farmers and pastoralists between 4500 BP and 2300 BP, or between 2500 BCE and 500 BCE. Read more on Wikipedia
