The ‘Triple R’ Approach on the Restoration of Archaeological Dry Stone City Walls
The ‘Triple R’ approach on the restoration of dry stone walls, using recognizable, reversible and respectful constructive techniques is here illustrated. A set of restoration procedures are explained and applied to a UNESCO World Heritage site in Al-Baleed (Salalah, Sultanate of Oman) in the ‘Land of Frankincense’. The procedures were adapted in an innovative way to take into account the climate features of the Indian Ocean area (specifically, th…
The Domestication of Equidae in Third-Millennium BCE Mesopotamia
It has been forty years since the first edition of this book, as an Oriental Institute doctoral dissertation, was completed. Now, in a fully revised and much expanded study, CUSAS 24 presents a comprehensive discussion of the philological, historical, and archaeological evidence for the range of equidae known now from much of Western
Hailat Araka and the South Arabian Neolithic
A small Neolithic lithic scatter site was discovered in 1992 through survey in the southern region of Dhofar, Oman just south of the Rub al Khali. Four test units (1994, 2009) confirmed a 60–90 cm single period Neolithic stratification sequence of the mid‐sixth millennium BC . Lithic debris contains all stages of knapping from prepared cores and is dominated by trihedral rod production. Based on comparable sites both to the west in Yemen and to t…
Southern Arabian Desert Trade Routes, Frankincense, Myrrh, and the Ubar Legend
Aspects of Bronze Age art of southern Arabia
Before discussing the latest developments in the understanding of the Bronze Age of Arabia, however, a brief synthesis of earlier material is presented here and what is believed to be its relevant context archaeologically and historically. In terms of the economic and socio-political forces which the Arabian Bronze Age might have created, Gilman noted that in the European case as a whole, there was a 'significant horizon of change in the mid-thir…
Dumah (Person)
[Heb dȗmâ]. A son of Ishmael (Gen 25:14; 1 Chr 1:30). In all probability, this “Dumah” refers to the district and oasis town in N central Saudi Arabia near the S end of the Wadi Sirhan. An oracle against this town and its relation to the Kedarite tribal confederacy is perhaps contained in Isa 21:11

Early Pastoral Nomadism and the Settlement of Lower Mesopotamia
The Akkadians' nomadic origins have generally been assumed. However, the conventional prehistoric archaeological picture fails to illuminate those origins and the Akkadians' involvement in Akkad. Thus the origins of pastoral nomadism must be sought in the context of mixed farming within the Fertile Crescent, specifically during the PPNB. Subsequent expansion into marginal agricultural lands led to a symbiotic relationship between pastoral nomads …
