Qidfa' 1: Excavation of a Late Prehistoric Tomb, Fujairah Emirate, United Arab Emirates presents results from the rescue excavations of the Qidfa' 1 site, a multi-period tomb (Wadi Suq-Late Bronze /Early Iron Age). The architecture of the two-storey structure and the material culture found in the U-shaped tomb are presented to establish a chronology for the site, and its importance for archaeology in the Fujairah Emirate is discussed. The data obtained and the diversity of the materials discovered contribute to a better understanding of the changes that took place in south-east Arabia during the 2nd millennium BC. The principle aim of the report is therefore to discuss the funeral architecture and present the finds, especially those which came from the intact upper chambers, such as pottery vessels, stone vessels and copper/bronze vessels, in addition to other artefacts such as daggers, axes, adzes, bangles, anklets, arrowheads and other personal items. The richness of the discoveries demonstrates the wealth and significance of the culture of the 2nd millennium BC in southeast Arabia. By disseminating the results of this important but previously unpublished excavation the book will open a window for further discussions.
Located on the coast of the Emirate of Umm al-Qaiwain (UAE), the site of Ed-Dur is without doubt the largest coastal site of the late 1st. cent. B.C. - 1st cent. A.D. between Qatar and the promontory of Musandam. It could have been the site of Ommana, mentionned as a harbour, by Classical authors. In 1986 a European consortium of four countries (Belgium, Denmark, France and Great Britain) was created in order to launch full scale excavations at this site in SE-Arabia. A team from Ghent University was active there, on a yearly basis, until 1995. During these 9 seasons numerous architectural remains and objects were discovered. In the present volume 121 tombs, with their burial goods, are published in full. All tombs and objects are presented in drawings and photographs, so as to provide a quick release of the discoveries. Different types of graves were found, from plain individual tombs to rectangular cists and large semi-subterranean multiple tombs covered by a barrel vault and accessible via an entrance, occasionally with stairs. However, a large above-ground grave was equally discovered. Although mostly plundered, several undisturbed tombs of different type were found, containing numerous objects.
