Tenerian culture
Tenerian is the name given by archaeologists to a prehistoric culture originating in at least the 5th millennium BC and lasting until the mid-3rd millennium BC in the Sahara Desert. This spans the wet period of Saharan history known as the Neolithic Subpluvial as well into the onset of the current arid regime.
Reygasse first used the term Tenerian in 1934 with subsequent scholars producing a clearer definition. The Missions Berliet to the Air Mountains in northern Niger produced the clearest definition prior to J. Desmond Clarke's expedition in early 1970, the results of which were published in November 2008.
Human remains from this culture were first found in the Air Mountains and later, in 2000, at a site known as Gobero, located in Niger in the Ténéré Desert.
==Discovery==
Gobero was discovered in 2000 during an expedition (led by Paul Sereno) searching for dinosaur remains. Two distinct cultures were discovered at the site: the Tenerian culture and the Kiffian culture. The Kiffians were a prehistoric people who preceded the Tenerians and vanished approximately 8000 years ago, when the desert became very dry. The desert stayed dry until about 4600 BC when the rains returned, and the earliest evidence of the Tenerians appears. Some 200 skeletons have been discovered at Gobero.
