Mohamed Sahnouni studies the earliest human presence in North Africa, focusing on Stone Age (Paleolithic) archaeological sites in Algeria such as Ain Boucherit and Ain Hanech. His work combines the analysis of ancient stone tools with dating techniques and studies of fossil animals and sediments to reconstruct how early humans lived and when they first occupied the region. Much of his research pushes back the timeline for the earliest known human activity in North Africa.
Publication activity has slowed over the last decade, dropping from around eight papers per year in 2017-2018 to roughly one to three in recent years.
