  • The Archaeology of Kuwait
    School of History and Archaeology The Archaeology of Kuwait By Majed Almutairi A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for a Ph.D. in Archaeology Supervisor: Professor Denys Pringle i Summary This thesis addresses the archaeology of Kuwait from 13000BC to the 18th century AD, to further understand its significances within the Arabian Gulf and wider world. Kuwait has witness many diverse cultures By comparing for the first time the archaeology, geography, and historical sources, I illustrate that this region has been continual inhabited and used as an important hub of social networks since its beginnings. By introducing the Ubaid civilization and their relations with other regions, we witness the first exchange and trade strategies in Kuwait. By looking at the burial mound phenomenon in Kuwait we witness a hiatus of permanent settlements and a time when people were more nomadic. The impact of these mounds resonated into later periods. Petroleum based substances play a key role in modern Kuwait; the Ubaid and the Dilmun first developed the usage of bitumen, and here we see how that created links with others in the world. Ideas move as well as people, and I demonstrate the proto-Hellenistic and Hellenistic periods in Kuwait to illustrate influences from the Mediterranean. Modern Kuwait is Islamic, and here we will investigate how and why and the speeds at which Christianity gave way to Islam, and the impacts of a different religion on the region. In highlighting Kuwait’s past, I show how the state became one of the most democratic and diverse places in the Arabian Gulf.

  • When I First Arrived in Kuwait, I Was Greeted by an Extremely Different Environment, Culture, and People
    Spring 2010 Dartmouth-AUK Intern Newsletter Larry Bowman ‘11 When I first arrived in Kuwait, I was greeted by an extremely different environment, culture, and people. I spent the next ten weeks (the term of my internship) learning about, experiencing, and coming to terms with those differences. My experience in the Middle East gave me a greater understanding of a different—not better, not worse—culture than the one I grew up in here in the United States. Were it not for Dartmouth’s relationship with the American University of Kuwait, I would never have been able to have this experience. The Environment The physical geography of Kuwait is something I had only imagined in my fondest dreams. Its deserts, and those of other Middle Eastern countries, expand for miles and miles with beautifully rippling dunes and swirls. The rustic red and yellow colors create a canvas of warmth, a real treat for the eye. The temperature matches the color scheme. Temperate climates do not compare whatsoever to the unforgiving heat and humidity of Kuwait. The temperature was around 90F, and by the time I left the thermometers were creeping above 125F. The warm winds blow against you in bursts like space heaters going on and off, an experience I quite enjoyed and will never forget. Luckily, during my stay, I experienced several rain showers, somewhat of a rarity in the area. The storms are beautifully violent, tragically short-lived and bursting with the desert sands. After a rainstorm, almost everything is covered in the brown residue of the passing event.

  • Kuwait Desert Soil Properties and Genesis Genèse Et Propriétés Des Sols Du Désert Du Koweit
    Scientific registration n° : 77 Symposium n° : 15 Presentation : poster Kuwait Desert Soil Properties And Genesis Genèse et propriétés des sols du désert du Koweit ABDAL M. S., M.K.SULEIMAN Aridland Agriculture Department Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research P.O.Box 24885, Safat 13109, Kuwait INTRODUCTION Kuwait's environment is characterized by scanty and infrequent rainfall (100 mm/yr) high rates of evaporation (35.5 mm/day in July), and extreme temperature variations throughout the year. The summer temperature is very hot (over 40-50oC), while the winter is cool to mild with a mean temperature of 12.7oC. Kuwait covers an area of about 17600 km2 at the north-eastern corner of the Arabian peninsula, between 28o 30 N and 30o 05 N in latitude and between 46o 33 E and 48o 35 longitude in addition to ten offshore islands. In the desert of Kuwait, the sediments, flora, and fauna, are integrated in harmony with the natural processes of the area. The most crucial soil forming factors existing over the years in this desert have been the aeolian processes. These processes have been impacted by wind erosion and have been influenced by the topography of the location or site. The nature of the parent material and the types and quantities of native plants, at each site location have also affected the soil forming processes, and have likewise influenced the extent to which the wind has caused erosion. Aeolian processes are activated or reflected by frequent sandstorms and dust-storms and accumulations of various types of aeolian sediments. Most of the northern part of the country has been blanketed by deflation, to lag gravels that protect the underlying finer sediments from wind action.

INTRODUCTION Different groups of people in the twentieth century have justified their claims for nationhood based on the right of "self-determina- tion."I However, despite these recurring claims of self-determination, no clear international legal standards exist for this extremely subjec- tive right. Although the right of self-determination has been applied inconsistently to various groups of claimants, the United Nations Charter and General Assembly resolutions, International Court of Justice opinions, and journal publications provide general principles 2 with respect to self-determination.
