Abourma: engraved landscapes and pastoral histories

No ancient self-designation is inferred from this research label or modern place name.

Djibouti's submission describes an extensive engraved landscape, not one compact settlement or ethnic border. Poisblaud analyses human figures and scenes; iconographic readings are not literal social censuses. Human and animal scenes do not identify a single state, race or complete population.

Engraved landscape and heritage context Holocene imagery; relative sequence rather than one exact date Engraved figures, superposition and heritage documentation Tadjourah, Djibouti: approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound, mine or production-work location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.

Transformação posterior, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; the atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent or membership. Visual motifs cannot by themselves identify the languages of engravers. Later research, restoration and heritage events are dated separately in the timeline.
