This article aims to document an important scientific activity that is part of the fields supporting history. Because activities related to this topic have long been overlooked in local historical and archaeological studies, we decided to dedicate these pages to the history of archaeological research in Mauritania.It is worth noting that, since the beginning of the 20th century, Mauritania has seen some research activities on certain archaeological sites, carried out by amateurs among members of the French colonial missions. In the second half of the same century, the country witnessed major archaeological campaigns that revealed important periods of Mauritania’s history. Despite the significant scientific contributions of archaeological research in Mauritania, archaeology in the country generally still faces many challenges and is in urgent need of strong and lasting solutions.
