  • Sheep and Goat Variability along the Edges of the Al-Hajar Mountains in the Prehistory of South-east Arabia

    Open AccessElena Maini, Laura Strolin et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2025References: 10

    The Al-Hajar Mountains, spanning the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates along the Sea of Oman, have hosted human settlement since prehistory. Over the past three decades, numerous archaeological sites have been investigated in this region. Findings from these sites reveal significant human impact on the landscape from the Early Bronze Age to the Late Iron Age, evidenced by complex settlements and extensive burial grounds. This study s…

  • New evidence for Neolithic occupation in north-west Arabia

    Open AccessJanne Mcmahon, Finn Stileman et al.ARTICLELevant2024

    Recent archaeological investigations in AlUla County have provided the first detailed chrono-cultural evidence for long-term Neolithic domestic occupation in this archaeologically unknown region of north-west Arabia. This paper presents the preliminary findings drawn from multi-scalar datasets collected through extensive aerial and ground surveys, and the excavations of ‘monumental’ architectural installations, named in this study as ‘Standing St…

  • Domestic food practice and vessel‐use at Salūt‐ST1, central Oman, during the Umm an‐Nar period

    Open AccessAkshyeta Suryanarayan, Michele Degli Esposti et al.ARTICLEArabian archaeology and epigraphy2024References: 10

    Investigations into everyday food practices during the Umm an‐Nar period (c.2700–2000 bc ) in the Oman Peninsula are limited. We studied lipid residues in pottery from Salūt‐ST1, an Umm an‐Nar stone tower in central Oman, to understand domestic practices and vessel use in locally‐produced Sandy Wares, regionally‐produced Fine Red Omani Wares and imported Indus Black‐Slipped Jars between c. 2460–2150 bc . Degraded animal fats were found in a major…

  • The Nexus of Cult and Pastoralism in Neolithic Northwest Arabia

    Open AccessMelissa A Kennedy, Laura Strolin et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2024References: 26

    At present more than 1600 mustatil have been recorded across Arabia. These monumental ritual structures have been interpreted as markers of territoriality and a key component in constructing and consolidating kinship ties and communal social identities in the Late Neolithic. Perhaps most strikingly, these structures are marked by a homogeneity of architectural form, over a vast geographic area, some 350,000 km2. In AlUla County, ten mustatil have…

  • Monumentality, Social Memory, and Territoriality in Neolithic–Chalcolithic Northwestern Arabia

    H Thomas, Melissa A Kennedy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2021Cited by: 6References: 44

    Recent excavations undertaken by the Aerial Archaeology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (AAKSA) project have recovered significant skeletal material, evidence for funerary offerings, including jewelry, and the earliest chronometrically dated domestic dog in the Arabian Peninsula. Despite being heavily disturbed by recent looting, these monumental funerary structures were found to be collective burials dating to the 5th and 4th millennia b.c. The e…
