In this article, we propose a synthesis of the chronology of Holocene human occupations in the Dogon Country (Mali), based on 154 radiocarbon dates acquired during the research program “Human population and paleoenvironment in Africa”. The probability distributions from the calibration of the dates have been summed to produce a curve in order to visualize the rhythm of occupations, the major innovations as well as technological and cultural transitions. The spatial distribution of the chronological data is also illustrated by a series of six maps corresponding to the periods associated with the major events of the sequence. This visualization method allows us to propose a general scenario that can be compared with the chronologies of other key regions in order to understand the settlement of West Africa.
