The Religion and Rituals of the Nomads of Pre-Islamic Arabia. A Reconstruction Based on the Safaitic Inscriptions
International audience
Archéologie et diplomatie d’influence, le cas de Madāʾin Ṣāliḥ, l’ancienne Hégra, en Arabie Saoudite
Longtemps restée un terrain considéré comme inaccessible, l’Arabie Saoudite est, depuis 2020, une des zones d’intervention les plus dynamiques pour les archéologues français opérant hors du territoire national. L’auteur, qui réalise des recherches dans ce pays depuis 2002, revient sur la genèse de cette collaboration et en examine les ressorts à la fois français et saoudiens, en la replaçant dans le contexte de l’évolution des structures administ…
The inscriptions from the Nabataean necropolis of Mughāyir Shuʿayb
Four rock‐cut tombs have yielded nine Nabataean inscriptions or fragments of inscriptions, five of which are already published (Nehmé, 2015, pp. 51–52). They were all photographed either by L. Nehmé in 2005 or during the surveys undertaken in 2017 and 2018 by the al‐Badʿ Archaeological Project (Charloux et al., 2021; Bigot‐Démereau et al., 2024). They are presented below according to the tomb to which they belong, the number of which is the one g…

Two Developing Arabic inscriptions from the Old Town of al-ʿUlā (Saudi Arabia)
This contribution examines two Developing Arabic (formerly “Nabataeo-Arabic”) inscriptions recently discovered in the so-called Old Town of al-ʿUlā, in North-West Saudi Arabia. They were found reused in the door frame of two traditional houses, one in 2017 and the other in 2022. The first one corresponds to CIS II 333, the reading of which was improved thanks to the direct examination of the stone and to a photogrammetric restitution, the second …

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…

The Nabataean ‘Caesar’ inscription from Khirbat az-Zūna
A Nabataean inscription was discovered during excavations at Khirbat az-Zūna by the Regional Survey of the Wādī ath-Thamad Project in Jordan. The inscription is one of several examples of spolia found reused in the construction of the Roman castellum, although their origin remains unidentified. The inscription's position left it nearly invisible in antiquity, and it was clearly not meant to be read in its secondary context. The text is incomplete…
A rock inscription mentioning Thaʿlaba, an Arab king from Ghassān
This article is the edition and commentary of an inscription discovered some time ago in the area of Eilat. It is written in a script that is transitional between Nabataean and Arabic, is presumably dated to the late fifth century AD and mentions an Arab king
The Study of Nabataean Organic Residues From Madâ’in Sâlih, Ancient Hegra , by Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry
Four Nabataean samples collected in some of the monumental tombs of Madâ’in Sâlih, ancient Hegra , in Saudi Arabia, have been studied by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. These samples are textile fragments that are either covered with a black layer or bound together with some black amorphous substance. Fatty acids and triterpenoic compounds were detected. Eight triterpenic compounds were identified: ursa‐9(11),12‐dien‐3‐ol, ursa…

Mission archéologique de Madain Salih (Arabie Saoudite)
This contribution presents the preliminary results of the Madain Salih archaeological project, which started in 2001 and which, in December 2004, completed its fourth field season. The aims of this five‐year project are a systematic recording of the archaeological remains at the site as well as an analysis of its agricultural potential. The former include not only the tombs, sanctuaries, wells, quarries, walls, buildings, etc., but also the inscr…

Les inscriptions des chambres funéraires nabatéennes et la question de l'anonymat des tombes
