description This study proposes a survey of the long term history of the region of Tebessa, in Modern Algeria. In pre-colonial era, the region was mostly occupied by nomadic or semi-nomadic populations, organized in strong tribes structured by an important red of Sufi orders. This picture of a deurbanized society is different from the situation during the Antiquity and the High Middle ages. Intense soil exploitation allowed the formation of large domains and of several military or urban centers, which some of them continue to be occupied after the Arab conquest. The case of the town of Majjâna studied in the article, attest economical and social evolutions in the region. Important transformations occurred after Arabs’ migrations of the 11th century: decline of the urban red and emergence of new tribal forces, which were still for a longtime out of central government control. This long arabization and tribalization process led to the situation observed in Modern era.
