The Bronze Age Tombs of Northwest Arabia: A Chrono‐Typological Study From AlUla and Khaybar, Saudi Arabia

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT 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.

THE NEOLITHIC OF FOREST-STEPPE TRANSURALS AND IRTYSH AREA: LATEST RESEARCHES AND PERIODIZATION

Вестник Кемеровского государственного университета, 2015
Recently, the issue of neolitization of Transurals is dominated by two basic concepts that are opposed to each other: the sequencing of traditions as Koshkino-Boborykino by V. T. Kovaleva and as Boborykino-Koshkino by V. A. Zakh.

Carbon stable isotope analysis of cereal remains as a way to reconstruct water availability: preliminary results [PDF]

, 2011
Reconstructing past water availability, both as rainfall and irrigation, is important to answer questions about the way society reacts to climate and its changes and the role of irrigation in the development of social complexity.

Pottery Making in the First Oases: Comparison Between Bat and Bisya Domestic and Tower Assemblages

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The earliest known significant pottery production in Oman appears in the first oases of the Hajar mountains southern foothills during the Umm an‐Nar period (ca. 2700–2000 bc) of the third millennium bc. Despite the history of ceramic research in southeast Arabia, the modalities of the establishment and organisation of this craft are little ...

Can the mid-Holocene provide suitable models for rewilding the landscape in Britain? [PDF]

, 2009
Palaeoecologists have been encouraging us to think about the relevance of the Holocene fossil record for nature conservation for many years (e.g. Buckland 1993) but this information seems slow to filter through to the conservation community.

Ceramic Production at the Khaybar Walled Oasis During the Mid/Late Third–Early Second Millennium BCE: Evidence for a Burnished Ware Horizon in Northwest Arabia

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The knowledge of Early and Middle Bronze Age ceramics in Northwest Arabia remains limited, particularly in the Medina region, due to the scarcity of archaeological contexts dated to the fourth–first half of the second millennium BCE. Recent research in the Khaybar oasis has revealed significant Bronze Age occupation.

An Evaluation of Restitutions Prepared for the Architecture of the Neolithic Site of Göbeklitepe and a Proposition

Megaron, 2019
Neolithic studies were mainly about the agriculture. However, the Neolithic was a period where all aspects of human life changed dramatically. Hence, this era must be studied in detail by various disciplines, as well as the architecture.

Radiocarbon‐Inferred Population Trajectories for Southeastern Arabia During the Bronze Age

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper builds on previous attempts to estimate radiocarbon‐inferred population trends—although in Arabia, these attempts are few. A probabilistic reconstruction of Bronze Age (3200–1300 cal BC) demographic trends using a new data set of radiocarbon rates from across the Arabian Peninsula (n = 1280) is presented and a subset of dates (n ...
