Abstract
Lubell hypothesizes that the Epi-Paleolithic populations of the Maghreb achieved a successful and flexible subsistence pattern early on. Lubell discusses the paleoenvironment and Epi-Paleolithic economies of the Maghreb, but concentrates on the Capsian of 10,000 to 6,000 B.P. in the Cheria and Telidjene basins in eastern Algeria. He also reviews other authors claims to possible early domestication of certain plants and animals. Also examined are the Iberomaurusian verses the Capsian in time and space and whether their human populations were composed of the same or different peoples.
