From Heritage to High-Tech: The Impact of Technology on Camels in the United Arab Emirates
The authors examine the transformative impact of technological advancements on the customary traditions associated with camels in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with Emirati camel owners/breeders, focusing on the effects of innovations in breeding, racing, beauty contests, and heritage preservation. The findings reveal that genetic technologies have reshaped camel husbandry by enhancing desirable traits…

Positioning UAE archaeological sites in tourism supply chains
Purpose The purpose of this study is to address the relevance of archaeological heritage in the context of supply chains for the tourism industry. It does so by providing converging ideas on the usefulness of individual sites, not in their strict scientific or latent value but as an enhancer for optimizing cultural production in a wider scenario of aggregate demand. Design/methodology/approach While examples from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) il…
Two Pre-Islamic Places of Worship in the Tourism Landscape of the UAE
As suggested by the title, this paper explores two of the several archaeological sites that configure religious loci in the territory of the current United Arab Emirates. It does so by assessing their relevance, by refining their nature and historical context, and by analyzing their positioning as components of a tourism mix. The core research question is whether or not integration is accomplished. Both structures are quite well known in the acad…
Modeling Municipal Heritage Management
The resources medium-sized municipalities allocate in the process of both creating and maintaining instruments for heritage management have increased in the last decades. There are first and foremost legal reasons for this, as European national laws translate societal concerns on the preservation and commodification of the past. Sustainable solutions may be achieved through the understanding of heritage assets, and their use in the support of res…
On Agency and Ramparts in the Lower Danube and Spain
Having worked mainly on the late Roman and Visigothic walls of the Spanish provinces, I came across the details of Dacian-Moesian frontier defences mostly by chance, through a book by Carl Schuchhardt and his contributions to linear earthworks. I would like to contrast these valla in the specific angle of agency, as the discussions on the Moldovan wall of Athanaric and its chronology are reminiscent of questions posed as well in southwestern impe…
Advances in Cultural Tourism: Two Examples From the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (Uae)
The aim of this paper is analyzing desert remoteness as a potential competitive advantage for cultural tourism. In the emirat e of Abu Dhabi, at least two destinations can capitalize on the perception of insularity, while at the same time offe ring high levels of comfort and accessibility. This text seeks to provide an overview on the matter, and enters a conceptual dimension about the singularity of remoteness, as a complement rather than an opp…
The locus in the context of late antique Spain
At a conference some years ago, I briefly examined the relationship between local power and wine production in Visigothic Spain. On that occasion, I mentioned the transformed legal nature of the locus, a topic I now wish to explore further, in the same geographical scope. The hypothesis is twofold. First, I argue that some recently excavated timber structures are not representative of a change in rural settlement patterns. Second, that despite it…
On the Meaning of City Walls in Late Roman Spain
During three or four decades of the late 3rd and early 4th century, a number of cities across the Empire were refortified in a pattern that cannot be explained in defensive terms alone. Regional and especially local authorities seem to have played a decisive role in the process, and Lusitania is a clear case of non-military initiative. About a dozen sites, a minority that is, did invest in these new structures, which were highly disruptive to dai…

Adolescent Runaways: Familial and Personal Correlates
Adolescent boys and girls ( n = 347) from the Miramichi region in New Brunswick, Canada, participated in a multivariate study of factors related to running away behavior. Results suggest that runaways tend to be boys and girls who come from incomplete families where relationships with the parents are perceived as difficult, who feel depressed and have suicidal thoughts, and who have a history of drug use and theft
