Master of Research A qualified in Prehistory at the National Center for Prehistoric, Anthropological and Historical Research of Algiers (CNRPAH). Member of the office of the North Africa Commission of the UISPP since 2017 and of the Pan-African Association of Archaeology, Prehistory and Associated Disciplines (PanAf) since 2018. Having always been interested in prehistoric lithic industries and human evolution , she obtained a Magister in prehistory at the Institute of Archeology of Algiers and subsequently enrolled at the University of Paris-Ouest Nanterre la Défense in Paris to prepare a doctoral thesis defended in 2012 on the industries lithics from the Iberomaurusian of Algeria (final Pleistocene culture of the Maghreb and which coincides with many microlaminar technocomplexes of the North of the Mediterranean such as the Epigravettian and the Azilian). His thesis represents the first evaluation of the variability of the Iberomaurusian lithic industries based on thetechnological approach which owes much to the impetus of Jacques Tixier.
