Abstract EN

The efforts of the French occupation administration aimed at exploiting the ancient roads crossing the Algerian desert, were the reason for the sudden discovery of a number of ruins of buildings scattered on the outskirts of the current city of Ouargla, specifically in the location of the city of Sedrata, from which Ibadit groups took an annual shrine to the tomb of Imam al-Rutomi Yaqoub ibn Aflah, who settles there by the end of the 3er century AH.

This archeological discovery was an artistic revolution during the end of the 19th century AD, which opened a wide field for successive excavation mission at the site, which extended between the years 1881 AD and 1952 AD, in addition to some exploratory and reconnaissance attempts, all of which resulted in very important results associated with fixed and movable discoveries, most notably a group of the houses with a variety of stucco decoration characterized by splendor and workmanship.
