The name Algeria comes from Arabic al-Jazā’ir (الجزائر), which means “the land of dates”. It was originally named as such due to its rich agriculture and fertile lands that attracted Phoenician settlers. The current name derives from Latin Africa, after which it was predominantly called in Classical antiquity by Greeks and Romans.
Algeria has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Neolithic remains have been found in Tell El Harcha, Biskra, Meroe and elsewhere; archaeological remains are mainly from the Chalcolithic Age (5000 BC – 4500 BC) such as those found at Aït-Benhaddou, Adrar (Adrar Bous), Tadrart Acacus (Tadrart-Amblès), Aït M’hamed, Guelma and Tebessa (Tébessa).
