Historical accounts suggest that it was founded in early Islamic times by Amazigh (also called Berbers) tribes.

The first type of analysis concerns the general settlement pattern, while the second refers to traditional building materials and collective work.  a9781784912840 (ISBN); 9781784912833 (ISBN)
