What’s the point? Variation and innovation of Neolithic arrowhead technology in northwest Arabia
Once a lacuna in prehistoric archaeology, a rich Neolithic record is now apparent in northern Arabia; concentrated during the 5th and 6th millennia BCE, which is represented by habitational and hunting sites, as well as monumental structures such as mustatils. Affinities between Levantine and Northern Arabian industries have been presented as evidence for connectivity, or even migration. This is particularly the case regarding arrowhead technolog…
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…
What consumers, general practitioners and mental health professionals want
These findings informed icanactnow and provide insights for the development of other online mental health interventions, in ways that appeal to both consumers and professionals recommending them
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…
Australian Mental Health Consumers’ Experiences of Service Engagement and Disengagement
Mental health issues are a severe global concern with significant personal, social, and economic consequences and costs. This paper reports results of an online survey disseminated across the Australian community investigating why people with mental health issues choose particular mental health services over others, what causes them to disengage from services, and what factors and qualities of services are important to consumers to support their …
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…
Exploring General Practitioners’ Views and Experiences of Providing Care to People with Borderline Personality Disorder in Primary Care
The prevalence of people seeking care for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in primary care is four to five times higher than in the general population. Therefore, general practitioners (GPs) are important sources of assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and care for these patients, as well as important providers of early intervention and long-term management for mental health and associated comorbidities. A thematic analysis of two focus groups …
The Importance of Relationship in Understanding the Experiences of Spouse Mental Health Carers
The burden of caring for family members with mental illness has been researched extensively; however, knowledge of spouse carers' experiences is limited. In this article, we explore this from a carers' perspective, with 28 spouse carers, using qualitative open-ended semistructured interviews and a grounded theory approach informed by the social interactionism tradition to collect and analyze the data. We present six interrelated themes around the…
