[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] Mainly why I said trephination is not a strong indicator is because it's widespread and seems each people has their own technique. You don't buy that? OK by me. I already put up maps showing Gafsa the place and its cultures are way far from Fezzan in space, time, culture, economy, etc. But yes people may have moved in either direction to either place but where's the evidence? What would the evidence even be? Earliest Garamante followed late pastoral. Is the late pastoral from Gafsian or from Tasilli/Acacus? What was pastored? Cattle? Ovicaprines? Both? I'm sticking to a Tassili/Acacus/Fezzan Garamante continuum as most parsimonious since the three are all right next to each other and the rock art shows a multi-ethnic society and physically Garamante by eye witness accounts were variegated Africans with no "Eurasians" among them per the ancients. I'm no authority and I don't know it all and I'm much more interested in increasing my knowledge on this matter via documented scholarship than speculation. Of course speculation carefully leaping from valid sources is what we also need to do. [/QB][/QUOTE]
