The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Learning Across the Divide: Understanding Knowledge Sharing Through Petrographic Analysis on Ceramics From the Rhine‐Meuse Delta During the Middle to Late Neolithic Transition (3400–2200 bce)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vlaardingen (VL) communities on the Dutch West coast (3400–2200 bce) are part of a unique, long‐term continuity in the European Neolithic. Despite large‐scale changes in European populations during the Neolithic, the genomic diversity and cultural practices of VL communities can be retraced to the Mesolithic.
