المدافن المحفورة في الصخر في الشرق الجزائري: سراديب وادي شنيور بعين العربي (قالمة)‎ ومتيرشو بعين الطويلة (خنشلة)‎-نموذجا

Abstract EN

The funerary monuments carved into the rock in eastern Algeria: the rock cellars of Oued Chenior in Ain el Arbi (Guelma) and Mtirchou in Ain Touila (Khenchla).

the subject of this article covers a rare type of funerary monuments dug in the rock located in eastern Algeria that we identified during our exploration and archaeological finding in the region of Oued Chenior in Ain el Arbi Guelma and in Mtirchou in the commune of Ain Touila in Khenchla.

these are rock vaults that resemble Haouanets and the number of which does not exceed four monuments in the vast necropolis of Oued Chenior, and a single vault at Mtirichou which was discovered very recently.

no study relating to these funerary monuments has been carried out to date, which justifies this publication to present them in an academic journal.
