The ‘lost tombs’ of Naqada
The site of the ‘Main Cemetery’ of Naqada, north of Luxor, has yielded significant material remains that provide insights into this culture, which played a vital role in the early development of Egyptian civilization in the fourth millennium BCE. Unfortunately, of the 1918 tombs listed by W.M.F. Petrie during his excavation of the site, only 138 were described in the 1896 publication. This article aims to reinvestigate 735 tombs from this cemeter…
Millennial-Scale Transformations of Land Use in a Canyon in Southeast Arabia
The lowland oases and highland plateaus of Southeast Arabia have been occupied since ancient times due to the availability of groundwater resulting from abundant precipitation in the mountains. By contrast, the land use of intermediate narrow canyons as pathways to transport between oases and mountains has not been fully understood, and thus the holistic understanding of how people have used and adapted to arid land still remains to be pursued. T…
Al-Arid, an Early Bronze Age Site in the Southern Foothills of the Hajar Mountains (Sultanate of Oman)
La Mission archéologique de Bāt/Al-Arid (MBA) a débuté ses travaux pluridisciplinaires à l’intérieur des terres omanaises en 2019, après une prospection de surface conduite par une équipe japonaise dirigée par le professeur Yasuhisa Kondo (Research Institute for Humanity and Nature). Cet article vise à présenter les principaux résultats des troisième et quatrième campagnes de terrain menées en 2022 et 2023. Durant ces deux campagnes, les fouilles…
Petrographic and geochemical analyses of pottery from Wadi Tanuf, Oman
This study describes the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of pottery collected from Mugharat al‐Kahf and WTN02 in Wadi Tanuf, north‐central Oman, to clarify interregional similarities and differences in pottery production techniques and examine the existence of interregional trade in pottery with respect to changes in mobile communities. Potsherds from these sites were characterised using thin‐section petrography and instrumental neut…
Archaeological surveys of a canyon and floodplain in the Tanūf District, North‐Central Oman
The highly‐elevated and rugged topography of the Al‐Ḥajar Mountains in Northern Oman requires a topographically‐optimised survey methodology. To reconstruct the archaeological landscapes in the southern piedmont area of the Tanūf District, we applied a combined ground survey and satellite imagery analysis. In the narrow canyon, we travelled towards visible caves on the cliffs and cairns on the ridges and recorded all encountered sites on the way.…
Cave occupations in Southeastern Arabia in the second millennium BCE
This paper reports the results of excavation at Mugharat al‐Kahf (WTN01) in Wādī Tanūf, North‐central Oman. It also provides information on the nonmortuary and nonsedentary activities in central Oman during the Wādī Sūq period (2000–1600 BCE), as the subsistence and social arrangements of this period are the subject of much debate. Previous surveys had discovered a substantial amount of Wādī Sūq pottery at the site. This project took forward the …
Archaeological survey at Gebelein in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons
All periods of Egyptian history are represented at Gebelein and it encompasses many kinds of archaeological site found in the Nile valley (that is, cemeteries, settlements, fortifications, temples, rock quarries etc.). The area was a significant centre in the history of ancient Egypt, but its exact role and the reasons for its importance still awaits explanation. That is why the Gebelein Archaeological Project was initiated. The field survey of G…
Concurrent and sustainable development of a local-scale digital heritage inventory through action research at Bat, Oman
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a concurrent implementation of sustainable inventory for the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn in the interior of Oman. Design/methodology/approach – A digital heritage inventory (DHI) was developed through an action research to realize demands of the local agent and to co-design the solution. The Ministry of Heritage and Culture of Oman, the local agent, demanded to have arc…
