Years: 6093BCE - 5950BCE
Cattle herders flourish in the Sahara until 6000 BCE, after which time the region, featuring wide areas of semi-arid grassland and many shallow lakes that support a sparse hunter-gatherer population, begins to become much less wet.
The Nile Valley is a favored oasis for hunter-gatherer societies.
The period from 9000 to 6000 BCE has left very little in the way of archaeological evidence.
