Tassili
n'Ajjer (Algeria), emblematic Neolithic Saharan drawing. The circle

The
site of Beida (Jordan desert). Construction of a semi-hypogeal
circular house from the more archaic level and dating back to
the 7th millennium.

Neolithic ditch of Murgia Timone (Matera). The thicker vegetation
makes the ditch visible. On the right the double ring mausoleum
of the Bronze Age is evident.

Murgia
Timone. Two ellipses mark the partially visible perimeter of the
large Neolithic settlement. Only hard work and collective cooperation,
using only stone tools, can have made the excavation possible.
