Morphological and geographical variability of desert kites

Résumé

Desert kites are hunting mega-traps found from the Aralo-Caspian zone to Western Arabia. These structures present a singular and systematic layout suggesting that they were associated with an elaborate and standardized hunting technique. However, the morphology of these structures is very diversified (size, shape, and number of constituent elements) and here we seek to characterize this diversity. We propose a typology based on a previous clustering approach using morphological variables recorded for a representative sample, to which we add a qualitative input, the shape of the enclosures. The different identified types are regionalized and it is possible to propose a map at the scale of the entire distribution area.
