Horizontal Watermill Chronologies Based on 14 C Dating of Organics in Mortars
Horizontal watermills in the southern Levant have proved difficult to date. This study investigates the use of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of various organic carbon fractions in structural mortars and carbonate deposits to identify terminus post quem (TPQ) construction dates for seven arubah watermills and two chute watermills in northern Jordan. Dating results from the various organic fractions are discussed in the contexts of carbon fraction int…
Gerasa’s ‘Nymphaeum’
The Decapolis town of Gerasa became a sizeable urban centre in the province of Arabia in the 2nd century CE. The study of its monumental fountain, the so-called Nymphaeum, has been neglected despite its excellent state of preservation. This small but imposing late 2nd-century monument functioned as an aesthetic display and public water supply, although public access was restricted to the frontal spouts. This article comprehensively reappraises th…
Kites of AlUla County and the Ḥarrat ʿUwayriḍ, Saudi Arabia
A comprehensive remote sensing survey of AlUla County in north‐west Saudi Arabia has revealed 32 examples of the ancient, stone‐built animal traps known as ‘kites’. Noting that most (27) are located on the Ḥarrat ʿ Uwayriḍ, a satellite survey of parts of that lavafield outside of AlUla County was undertaken, identifying a further 175 kites. These show commonalities with ‘V‐shaped’ kites previously identified in mountainous areas along the western…
The Middle Holocene ‘funerary avenues’ of north-west Arabia
The desert regions of the Arabian Peninsula and Levant are criss-crossed by innumerable pathways. Across large areas of north-west Arabia, many of these pathways are flanked by stone monuments, the vast majority of which are ancient tombs. Recent radiometric dating indicates that the most abundant of these monuments, elaborate and morphologically diverse ‘pendant’ structures, were constructed during the mid-to-late third millennium BCE. Thousands…
Dating the pendant burials of north‐west Arabia
The monumental stone structures of the Arabian Peninsula have been notoriously difficult to date. Due to their visibility in the landscape, they have suffered from extensive robbing and later reuse, which has compromised dating methodologies. In particular, our understanding of when the elaborate “pendants” (also known as “tailed cairns” or “tailed tower tombs”) of north‐west Arabia were first constructed has remained incomplete. Recent work unde…
The mustatils
North-western Arabia is marked by thousands of prehistoric stone structures. Of these, the monumental, rectilinear type known as mustatils has received only limited attention. Recent fieldwork in AlUla and Khaybar Counties, Saudi Arabia, demonstrates that these monuments are architecturally more complex than previously supposed, featuring chambers, entranceways and orthostats. These structures can now be interpreted as ritual installations dating…
