Capsian (African Epipaleolithic periods, prehistoric North African periods, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to a Mesolithic tool-making culture generally located in inland areas of North Africa, and named after the site at Jabal al-Maqta near Qafsah, or Capsa, Tunisia. It is believed to be partially contemporary with the slightly earlier Oranian culture, which was more often located in coastal areas. It is apparently related to the older Gravettian culture in Europe and its tools are typical of the late Würm Glacial Period, though it seems to have flourished in postglacial times. It is distinguished from the Oranian culture in the variety of its tool kit, including large backed blades and burins. Some North African rock paintings are attributed to people from this culture.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 指中石器時代的器具製作文化，大致分布於北非的內陸地區，以位於突尼西亞，靠近加夫薩省（或卡普薩省）馬克塔山的遺跡命名。該文化被認為和較早的奧蘭文化在時間上有部分重疊，奧蘭文化較多分布於海岸地區。卡普薩文化與先前歐洲的格拉維特文化有明顯關聯，其器具為玉木冰河時代晚期的典型代表，但似乎到了冰河時代之後才開始蓬勃發展。其與奧蘭文化的不同在於工具組的形制差異，包括大型的厚背石瓣器和雕刻器，有些北非的岩畫據傳是由該文化時期的人所繪。 |
| Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een mesolithische gereedschapscultuur, vooral aangetroffen in de binnenlanden van Noord-Afrika en genoemd naar de opgravingen bij Jabal al-Maqta in de buurt van Qafsah of Capsa (Tunesië). Men vermoedt dat deze cultuur deels samenviel met de iets vroegere Oraanse cultuur die vaker werd aangetroffen in kustgebieden. De cultuur is schijnbaar verwant aan de oudere Gravettien cultuur in Europa en de gereedschappen zijn kenmerkend voor de laatglaciale Würmtijd, al lijkt deze cultuur vooral te hebben gebloeid in postglaciale tijden. De cultuur onderscheidt zich van de Oraanse cultuur door de diversiteit aan gereedschappen, waaronder grote pijlbladen en burijnen. Sommige Noord-Afrikaanse rotsschilderingen worden aan volkeren uit deze cultuur toegeschreven. |
| Spanish ..... Se refiere a la cultura mesolítica fabricante de herramientas localizada generalmente en áreas interiores de África del Norte y que lleva el nombre del sitio en Jabal al-Maqta cerca de Qafsah, o Capsa, Túnez. Se cree que es parcialmente contemporánea con la cultura oraniense, la que fue más frecuentemente localizada en áreas costeras. Se relaciona al parecer a la cultura más antigua gravetiense en Europa y sus herramientas son típicamente del período glacial Würm tardío, aunque parece haber florecido en eras postglaciales. Se diferencia de la cultura oraniense en la variedad de su conjunto de herramientas, que incluye grandes hojas de cuchillo con dorso y buriles. Algunas pinturas rupestres africanas del norte se atribuyen a pueblos de esta cultura. |
