Résumé
The 2014 campaign of the archaeological research project in the region of Sous-Tekna (Morocco) confirmed the identification of the current village of Ksabi with ancient caravan city of Tagawst. This is a major commercial, artisanal and agro-pastoral enclave, from the thirteenth century, replaced as regional capital to neighbouring trans-Saharan «port» of Nûl Lamta, active since at least the tenth century and also located in the course of archaeological work framed within this project. Moreover, during this campaign has also proceeded to analyse various archaeological materials. These were from both the archaeological site of Ksabi, and other sites catalogued and studied in the entire basin of the wadi Noun. Undoubtedly, one of the most important contributions of this analysis lies in the certification that the anthropic accumulation of shells (Stramonita haemastoma) found in 2011 in Foum Assaka (ST-J1) in primary stratigraphic position, corresponds, almost certainly, with a Roman period installation related to obtaining Gaetulian purple dye.
