  • Earliest evidence for the use of desert kite mass-hunting structures in southeastern Jordan during the late pre-pottery neolithic B

    Open AccessMohammad Tarawneh, Mohammad B Tarawneh et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2026Referencias: 75

    Desert kites – large-scale stone structures used for mass game hunting – are among the most extensive prehistoric constructions in the Middle East. Despite their ubiquity, the chronology of their emergence has long remained unresolved. This study presents the earliest direct and robust evidence for the construction and use of desert kites, based on integrated radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of three kites from a sin…

  • Desert Kites and Related Constructions

    Open AccessOlivier Barge, Emmanuelle Régagnon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Open Archaeology Data2025

    Desert kites are massive hunting traps found in the Near and Middle East, which have sparked significant research interest. Their numbers and geographical distribution were largely unknown until about a decade ago. This dataset provides the locations of all identified kites, along with detailed morphological information for a sample representing approximately 10% of them. It also includes data on other hunting-related structures within the same g…

  • Networked spaces

    Open AccessAli Mohamed Abdelrahman, Deresse Ayenachew et al.BOOKNetworked spaces2022

    The 34 articles published in this volume form the proceedings of the 9th Red Sea conference held at Lyon in July 2019, whose core topic was the “spatiality of networks in the Red Sea”, including the western Indian Ocean. In the networked space that the Erythra Thalassa never ceased to be, stable factors such as landscape, climate, and wind patterns have been constantly entangled with more dynamic elements, such as human activity. The contributors…

  • Hunting in the desert

    Open AccessOlivier Barge, Laetitia Balaresque et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2022Referencias: 4

    Nearly 500 kite-like structures have recently been discovered in the western Sahara using high resolution satellite images. Although four distinct types with different morphologies have been distinguished, their characteristics, topographical location and orientation in the landscape indicate that they are all most likely hunting traps

  • Desert kites et constructions apparentées

    Olivier Barge, Wael Abu-Azizeh et al.ARTICLEPaléorient2020Citada por: 10Referencias: 37

    Depuis une dizaine d'années, la mise en ligne libre des images satellitaires à haute résolution a permis la découverte de très nombreux desert kites, constructions en pierre de très grande taille qui jalonnent les marges désertiques du Croissant fertile. Leur nombre et l'étendue de leur répartition géographique laissent soupçonner un phénomène dont la portée était jusqu'à présent sous-estimée. On connaît par ailleurs beaucoup mieux leur diversité…

  • Wakarida, un site aksumite à l’est du Tigray

    Iwona Gajda, Anne Benoist et al.ARTICLEAnnales d Ethiopie2015

    Le projet « Recherches archéologiques et épigraphiques dans la région du Tigray, Éthiopie (Ier millénaire avant notre ère-VIIIe siècle de notre ère) » porte sur les civilisations de l’Éthiopie antique, la transition entre diverses périodes de l’histoire antique, la transformation du milieu naturel et les types d’installations humaines. Le site de Wakarida, choisi comme premier terrain d’étude, est situé au nord-est du Tigray, à l’extrémité orient…

  • Unity and diversity of the kite phenomenon

    Open AccessOlivier Barge, J E Brochier et al.ARTICLEArabian archaeology and epigraphy2015Citada por: 9Referencias: 12

    Desert kites are found across a vast region. This paper presents a detailed description of kites from the Harrat al‐Shaam region (Jordan) and proposes a comparative study, as well as an analysis of the morphology and organisation of kites known from Mount Aragats (Armenia) and the Ustyurt Plateau (Kazakhstan). A complete inventory of the structures in each region highlights their architectural characteristics and their spatial distribution in the…

  • Morphological diversity and regionalisation of kites in the Middle East and Central Asia

    Open AccessOlivier Barge, J E Brochier et al.ARTICLEArabian archaeology and epigraphy2015Citada por: 8Referencias: 6

    In the last few years, the number of inventoried kites has increased fivefold, and the known distribution zone has been greatly extended across the Near East, Arabia, the Caucasus and Central Asia. High‐resolution satellite images provide substantial amounts of data that can be subjected to geomatics analysis. The resulting spatial data is used to identify regional differences. We present here a study of these kite structures at the global, regio…

  • Kites on the margins. The Aragats kites in Armenia

    J E Brochier, Jacques-Elie Brochier et al.ARTICLEPaléorient2014Citada por: 19Referencias: 2

    Many desert kites have recently (2010) been discovered on the basaltic slopes of Mount Aragats in Armenia. The implementation of various complementary techniques (geomatics, statistical analyses, geoarchaeology, malacology, radiocarbon analysis) has enabled definition of their specificities. Isolated from the classic Syro-Jordanian zone, they are characterised by a certain simplicity, great morphological homogeneity, strongly related locations to…
