About the Book

English summary: The present volume revisits the history of Koumbi Saleh, the Mauritanian site that sat at the center of so many regional developments from the sixth to the seventeenth century. Written sources have portrayed Koumbi Saleh as being swept along by the successive waves of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay political expansions, a history that is re-examined through a close analysis of ceramic materials from the site. Rather than a homogenous whole, the pieces show remarkable differences in provenance, technique, and consumption, adding an important level of depth and understanding to our comprehension of the site and the individuals who peopled it. French description: L'etude technologique presentee ici fut entreprise avec l'objectif de reinterroger cet etrange objet archeologique qu'est Koumbi Saleh (Mauritanie 5e/6e-17e siecles), fruit d'une lente et longue ecriture, entre mythes et constructions historiques, ou les caracteristiques formelles de l'assemblage ceramique issu de ce site ont fonde l'hypothese d'une stabilite et d'une homogeneite culturelles. Or, les sources ecrites et orales qui se rapportent a notre region d'etude viennent contredire cette continuite culturelle. Ces sources decrivent, entre les 8e et 17e siecles, l'apparition et le deploiement d'importantes formations politiques (Ghana, Mali et Songhay entres autres) engagees dans le commerce transsaharien, qui vont successivement tenter d'exercer leur hegemonie sur un vaste territoire, centre sur une zone comprise entre les bassins du Senegal et du Niger. Conquetes territoriales, resistances ou conversions religieuses, tensions economiques, recompositions identitaires ... si l'on en croit les sources historiques, de multiples ruptures marquent le deploiement de ces puissances regionales. Au terme de cette etude, un constat s'impose: l'assemblage ceramique de Koumbi Saleh est, malgre les apparences, loin d'etre stable et homogene. La reconstitution des differentes etapes de la chaine operatoire de production de la poterie, de la selection des matieres premieres au traitement des surfaces, entreprise au moyen de divers outils analytiques (microscopie optique, microscopie electronique a balayage, diffraction des rayons X, extraction phytolithique, radiographie) a revele une forte variabilite. Les recipients constitutifs de cet assemblage sont, en effet, issus d'au moins cinq productions ceramiques, locales et importees, bien differenciees techniquement et montrant toutes une temporalite propre. Complexes et singulieres, les dynamiques historiques qui sous-tendent les evolutions ici mises en evidence operent a une echelle qui depasse largement le strict cadre de la production et la consommation ceramiques. Ceci nous conduit a discuter et revisiter la relation tres etroite et fondamentale qui existe entre production et consommation ceramiques d'une part et histoire macro-regionale d'autre part. Celle-ci peut aisement se comprendre par le fait que ceux qui realisent et manipulent les objets ceramiques sont aussi, directement ou indirectement, les acteurs quotidiens de cette histoire a large echelle. A l'interface, se situent les objets eux-memes. Objets qui se revelent, dans leur dimension technique et par les traditions qu'ils incarnent, particulierement sensibles aux arythmies de l'histoire politique, economique et sociale.
