Health and lifestyle in the Nabataean Kingdom
Background: Hegra (Mada’in Salih) was the second largest city in the Nabataean Kingdom, inhabited from around 100 BCE–200 CE. More than 100 monumental tombs remain at Hegra as conserved evidence of the ancient civilisation. Excavations of Nabataean tombs have typically revealed commingled and fragmented skeletal remains resulting from reuse and looting, which hinders the exploration of individual experiences of health and disease. Objective: This…
The Bronze Age Tombs of Northwest Arabia
Northwest Arabia is marked by tens of thousands of monumental burial structures, most of which appear to have been built during the Bronze Age. These funerary features range from simple cairns and tower tombs through to large ‘pendant’ burials with elaborate tail constructions. Yet despite their clear presence across the landscape, comparatively little analysis of these structures has been undertaken to date. This paper presents results from the …
A probable case of a non-union condylar fracture in an individual from Hegra (Madâ’in Sâlih), AlUla, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The Nexus of Cult and Pastoralism in Neolithic Northwest Arabia
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
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…
