Abstract
A bs tract This article continues the presentation of the archeological findings from the caves in the Bandiagara Cliffs in the land of the Dogon (Mali). The pottery of the Sanga region can be descriptively divided into four major types : Toloy, ancient Tellem, middle and late Tellem, and recent Dogon. Hypotheses about datings are made, and the findings are compared with the Do gen's presentday pottery, which seems to have been strongly influenced by the Tellem tradition.
