“Salé”的意思、由来-百科全书

Salé

Morocco

Arabic Sla

old walled city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, at the mouth of the Wadi Bou Regreg. The wadi separates Salé from Rabat, Morocco's capital city, of which Salé has become a bedroom community. Salé was founded in the 10th century and reached its zenith as a medieval merchant port and entrepôt. After 1627 Salé became the home of the republic of Bou Regreg and the base for the Barbary pirates (or corsairs) known in the West as the “Sallee Rovers.” Because of this, the city was frequently bombarded by European naval squadrons. Salé and Rabat grew together until the right bank of the Wadi Bou Regreg silted up and the Salé port was closed. The city is a concentration of mosques and mausoleums; the most venerated sanctuary is the tomb of Sīdī ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥasan, Salé's patron saint. Pop. (1994 est.) 504,420.

anthropological and archaeological site, Morocco

site of paleoanthropological excavation near Rabat, Morocco, known for the 1971 discovery of a cranium belonging to the human genus ( Homo). Tentatively dated to 400,000 years ago, the site contained a few animal fossils, but there were no associated stone tools.

The cranium is small and fine-featured without strong muscle markings. The brain size is within the range of Homo erectus but well below that of H. sapiens (Homo sapiens). Its long, low, and thick-walled braincase also aligns it with H. erectus. Other features, however, are similar to H. sapiens; these include the expanded sides (parietal bones) of the skull and a rounded rear portion, which has only a weakly developed ridge across it. There is a marked asymmetry in the back and base of the cranium that might imply some kind of pathology.

Because of its presumably pathological characteristics and its combination of H. erectus and H. sapiens characteristics, the Salé cranium is difficult to classify. It may belong with specimens of H. erectus of Africa (sometimes called H. ergaster) from sites such as Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania) and Bouri (Ethiopia). However, it may be better classified as H. heidelbergensis (Homo heidelbergensis), which is intermediate between H. erectus and H. sapiens.
