Abstract :
Beyond their apparent uniformity, steppe areas provide a mosaic of overlapping environmental contexts. In contrast to the stereotypical image of such areas, comprising farmers, nomads and sedentary populations, is a complex reality based on a great diversity of potential development. Arid margins of the region located southeast of Aleppo (Syria) constitute an example to help to understand this diversity from the Early Bronze Age onwards .
