Normally dealt with in a rather limited way, through the examination of a particular activity or geographical zone, the artisans of ancient North Africa are here, for the first time, the subject of an entire book. Focusing on urban production in Algeria during Antiquity, this critical study brings together new documentation drawn up on the basis of field data and the consultation of archives from a long history of survey in Algeria and France. This synthesis reviews the archaeological sites with workshops by defining their activities, at the same time as analyzing how they operated and looking at them typologically. Based on a comparison with documented workshops in the Western Roman world, the study of the techniques highlights the very strong similarities between the Roman regions but also the specific local variations of the methods used in Africa at this time. Maghreb ethnography shows the permanence of certain practices over time while attempting to reconstruct the "chaine operatoire". Although it is still difficult to obtain an overall picture both from a spatial and a chronological point of view of the artisanal topography, the data reveals the existence of varied artisanal and commercial activities in urban areas throughout Antiquity. French description: Aborde generalement de facon ponctuelle a travers une activite particuliere ou une zone geographique donnee, l'artisanat en Afrique du nord antique fait ici pour la premiere fois l'objet d'un ouvrage. Centree sur la production urbaine en Algerie durant l'Antiquite, cette etude critique rassemble une nouvelle documentation elaboree a partir des donnees de terrain et de la consultation des archives a partir d'un long travail d'enquete en Algerie et en France. La synthese fait le point sur les sites archeologiques presentant des ateliers en definissant leur activite tout en analysant leur fonctionnement et leur typologie. En s'appuyant sur une comparaison avec les decouvertes d'ateliers dans le monde romain occidental, l'etude des techniques met en evidence les similitudes tres fortes entre les regions romaines mais aussi les specificites locales des methodes employees en Afrique durant cette periode. L'ethnographie maghrebine montre quant a elle la permanence de certaines pratiques a travers le temps tout en completant l'essai de restitution de la " chaine operatoire ". S'il est encore difficile d'avoir une vision d'ensemble tant d'un point de vue spatial que chronologique de la topographie artisanale, les donnees recensees revelent l'existence d'activites artisanales et commerciales variees incluses dans l'ensemble du domaine urbain tout au long de l'Antiquite.
