They remind me of the descriptions of the predomonant coastal Moroccan Berbers of the 8th to 12th century which were in fact the "Masmuda" and were described as "stocky" unlike the other Berbers (Zanata, Sanhaja, Zaghawa, Wangara, Djawara), etc. and of course "black-skinned" by Nasir Khusroes, Abu Shama and Ibn Butlan others. The description of "stocky" has puzzled me for some time. I have a theory about a link of Masmuda Berbers to the ancient Sao that I haven't confirmed yet. [/qb][/QUOTE]The photo was taken in Algeria and that is the only thing I know about it. The photo was first posted here years ago in debates about Berbers probably by Doug. I don't know which ethnic group or tribe in Algeria the women belong to, however their hairstyles and head wraps bear a striking resemblance to some Ouled Berbers although most Ouled, especially the women are quite fair in complexion and those especially in northern areas could be called 'white' except many still have the same facial features as the women in the photo I posted.
