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 …
New evidence for Neolithic occupation in north-west Arabia
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
High resolution terrestrial thermography of archaeological sites
Thermal infrared imaging, or thermography, is the remote sensing technique of detecting variations in ground temperature caused by exposed or subsurface archaeological remains either absorbing or radiating heat. Despite its conception in the 1970s, the practice has to date been rarely utilized, as a result of the high cost of the technology and the complex interplay of environmental variables. However, recent studies have demonstrated the effecti…
A methodology for combining terrestrial and aerial photographs to create high resolution photogrammetric models of large-scale archaeological sites
Some like it hot
Infrared thermography, or thermal imaging, has been used as a remote sensing technique to determine whether subsurface features such as walls or pits generate a heat differentiation from the surrounding earth. To date, this form of remote sensing has been notoriously difficult to perform due to cost, low‐resolution thermal cameras and an inability to provide a stable aerial photographic platform. Furthermore, thermal fluctuations produced by arch…

Paul Webster. King John and Religion
If one were asked to compile a list of religiously active medieval rulers, King John of England would probably be one of the last monarchs to come to mind. Both medieval chroniclers such as Matthew Paris and modern historians such as William Stubbs have attacked John for being irreligious. Yet the plentiful records of John’s reign provide copious evidence for the king’s participation in religious activities, as Paul Webster amply demonstrates in …
Spiritualities of Life
As an avid on-and-off yoga enthusiast, I was almost giddy to read Paul Heelas's recent book Spiritualities of Life: New Age Romanticism and Consumptive Capitalism, hoping for some scholarly ammunition to justify the purchase of the hundred-dollar yoga pants I ideologically oppose yet secretly wish to purchase. Throughout the pages, my ideological opposition eventually won out, as Heelas provides an extremely well-researched treatise on contempora…

Benchmarking Florida’s Electric Power Enterprises
Cities continue to struggle to provide the level of goods and services demanded by their residents while federal and state support dwindles. One proposal for resolving this dilemma is privatization because it is assumed that the private sector is more efficient, at least partly as a result of more readily adopting efficiency enhancing techniques such as TQM. The electric power industry provides an excellent comparison between the public and priva…
