The Tichitt culture of the Ceramic Late Stone Age is known for its large settlement sites, built from dry stone walls. It is centered on the cliffs of southeastern Mauritania, but its links to the Middle Niger and the later urban developments there have long been a topic of research. This article adds a further piece of evidence linking the two regions. The available evidence for a set of stone-walled features is presented, around 300 sites of varying sizes and complexity. They lie on and around the sandstone massifs of the Malian Lakes Region. The evidence is so far tentative as no dating or material culture is available, but the sites are presented as a research priority for the future.

陶瓷晚期石器时代的蒂希特文化以其由干石墙建造的大型定居点而闻名。它以毛里塔尼亚东南部的悬崖为中心，但它与尼日尔中部以及后来城市发展的联系长期以来一直是研究的主题。本文添加了连接这两个地区的进一步证据。展示了一组石墙特征的可用证据，包括大约 300 个不同规模和复杂程度的遗址。它们位于马里湖区的砂岩地块及其周围。到目前为止，证据还只是暂时的，因为没有可用的年代测定或物质文化，但这些遗址被作为未来研究的重点。
