The aim of this paper is to announce the discovery of new elements of the Bell Beaker pottery in Morocco. Although the results are limited, disparate and coming from an unreliable stratigraphic cotext, yet all can enrich our knowledge about the spread of Beaker pottery, expand the area of geographic expansion of this complex off the Moroccan coast and affirm that this highly advanced civilization in Central and Western Europe, especially in Andalusia and in southern Spain has also grown in Morocco. The increased presence of this ceramic inland to Central Middle Atlas and the good representativeness of Bell-Beaker culture in Morocco challenges the assumption of simple circulation of this ceramic and resumes debate on the existence of an autochthonous foyer. However, intact archaeological levels and reliable radiocarbon dating are lacking for the most part to be able to resolve the question of Campaniforme in Morocco.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to announce the discovery of new elements of the Bell Beaker pottery in Morocco. Although the results are limited, disparate and coming from an unreliable stratigraphic cotext, yet all can enrich our knowledge about the spread of Beaker pottery, expand the area of geographic expansion of this complex off the Moroccan coast and affirm that this highly advanced civilization in Central and Western Europe, especially in Andalusia and in southern Spain has also grown in Morocco. The increased presence of this ceramic inland to Central Middle Atlas and the good representativeness of Bell-Beaker culture in Morocco challenges the assumption of simple circulation of this ceramic and resumes debate on the existence of an autochthonous foyer. However, intact archaeological levels and reliable radiocarbon dating are lacking for the most part to be able to resolve the question of Campaniforme in Morocco.

Abstract: (french)
L'objet de cet article est d'annoncer la découverte de nouveaux éléments de céramique campaniforme au Maroc. Bien que les résultats obtenus soient limités, disparates et issus d'un contexte stratigraphique peu fiable, l'ensemble permet pourtant d'enrichir nos connaissances sur la diffusion de la céramique campaniforme, d'élargir l'aire d'extension géographique de ce complexe loin du littoral marocain et d'affirmer que cette civilisation très évoluée en Europe centrale et occidentale et notamment en Andalousie et au sud de l'Espagne s'est également développée au Maroc. L'attestation de plus en plus accrue de ce type de céramique à l'intérieur des terres jusqu'au Moyen Atlas centrale et la large représentativité du campaniforme au Maroc remet en cause l'hypothèse d'une simple circulation de cette céramique et relance le débat sur l'existence d'un éventuelle foyer autochtone. Cependant, des niveaux archéologiques intacts et des datations fiables manquent pour la plupart pour pouvoir résoudre la question du Campaniforme au Maroc.
Author Keywords: céramique, campaniforme, extension géographique, Maroc, datations, cazuelas.
