Geography
Country: Mali

State: Mopti


Coordinate: 15° 0' N, 2° 57' W
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark

Time interval: Holocene

Section: 3767

Unit number: 4

Unit order: below to above

Max Ma: 0.00105

Min Ma: 0.00095

Age basis: radiocarbon (calibrated)

Geography comments: "Tongo Maaré Diabal (TMD) lies in a narrow strip of flatland between two sheer sandstone escarpments (Bandiagara and Dyoundé), 1 km north of the modern town of Douentza, Mali" (basis of coordinate).
"Seven radiocarbon dates provide a 650 year time span for the excavation’s discrete sequence of building events (horizons)". Horizon 4 ranges from AD 900-1000.

Environment
Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation,settlement

Archaeology: buildings,ceramics,hearths,metal tools,stone tools,other artifacts,other structures

Habitat comments: "Tongo Maaré Diabal is a settlement mound, 9 ha in extent, and approximately 3 to 4.5 m in elevation above the surrounding plain. The site is at a crossroads on land routes connecting Timbuktu and Gao to the Malian interior, as well as north-western Burkina Faso to the Niger Bend. The sequence of archaeological deposits contains five horizons of superimposed earthen buildings. The occupation appears to have been continuous from the site’s foundation to its abandonment".
"Horizon 4 witnesses a repair of the southern wall of the western structure with coursed earth and the building of a second concession wall, apparently isolating the two structures from one another. It is also at this time that a small pit is dug beneath the doorway of the eastern structure, containing ash and the broken remains of a terracotta equestrian statuette. To the north, a clear zone of fine layers of burnt earth, charcoal and working slag demarcates an area of iron working. Dense evidence for metallurgy remains in the northern concession throughout the rest of the sequence. Two technically and visually distinctive pottery traditions occurred at the site from the beginning of its occupation. Large stone grinding basins were found in some rooms, along with frequent finds of hand grinders throughout the sequence, evidencing the processing of grains in and around the buildings".

Methods
Life forms: carnivores,rodents,ungulates,other small mammals,birds,fishes

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 76 specimens

Years: 1993, 1995, 1996, 2010

Sampling comments: "In 1993, 1995 and 1996 two 4 x 4 m units were excavated, termed A and B, joined by a 1 x 4 m baulk (C). This area was excavated to a maximum depth of 4 m before reaching sterile soil. A further 4 x 4 m unit (D) located on the western part of the site, was only excavated to a depth of 1.3 m".
"The main exposure of the 2010 excavations was positioned directly adjacent to units A, B and C. An initial 9 x 5 m trench (unit E) was extended to the northwest by a further 7 x 5 m area (unit F) for a total excavated area of 125 m2 (Exposure 1). In these two units, only the uppermost occupation horizon was excavated, 50 to 80 cm below the surface. A 7 x 4 m unit (Exposure 2) was also excavated on the eastern part of the site".
