Abstract
(En) Rock art represents one of the most important archaeological remains in the Algerian Saharan Atlas. The various classical attempts for its study and interpretation led to the proposal of a methodological framework based on the description and classification of this archaeological record in chronological stages. The spatial distribution of rock art in the landscape as well as the related geographical context required the application of new and innovative approaches such as spatial archaeology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The main goals of this paper are to illustrate the impact of the geographic, topographic and the environmental context on these cultural manifestations, as well as to propose behavioral hypotheses based on the analysis of their spatial distributions.

يعتبر الفن الصخري من أهم المخلفات الأثرية التي تحظى بها منطقة الأطلس الصحراوي بالجزائر. وقد توصّلت الدراسات التقليدية إلى اقتراح منهجية قائمة على وصف ثمّ تصنيف النقوش والرسومات ووضعها في إطار کرونولوجي نسبي. إعتمادا على بيانات التوزيع الفضائي و السياق الجغرافي العام لعيّنة من محطات الفن الصخري بمنطقة الجلفة، حاولنا تطبيق مناهج علمية حديثة تعتمد على دمج مقاربات علم الآثار و علم الجغرافيا وتطبيقات نظم المعلومات الجغرافية. والهدف من هذه الدراسة هو محاولة فهم تأثيرات الإطار الجغرافي و الطبوغرافي و البيئة القديمة على الإنسان المنتج لهذا الفن الصخري، کما حاولنا اقتراح نموذج سلوکي اقتصادي واجتماعي مرتبط بهذه الظاهرة الثقافية وتوزيعها الجغرافي.
