Human remains belonging to the Tenerian culture were first found at Adrar Bous in the Aïr Mountains.
This region was lush at the time, and Tenerians were specialized cattle herders who also occasionally fished and hunted.
The Kiffians were a prehistoric people who preceded the Tenerians and vanished approximately 8000 years ago, when the desert became very dry.
[1][2] Graves show that the Tenerians observed spiritual traditions, as they were buried with artifacts such as jewelry made of hippo tusks and clay pots.
The most interesting find is a triple burial of an adult female and two children, dated to 5300 years ago.
