Establishing a Chronology for Holocene Climate and Environmental Change from Mleiha, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates Adrian G
Establishing a chronology for Holocene climate and environmental change from Mleiha, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates Adrian G. Parker, Frank Preusser, Joachim Eberle, Sabah Jasim and Hans-Peter Uerpmann Adrian Parker, Department of Social Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxon, OX3 0BP Email: [email protected] The Holocene epoch has also been punctuated by a series of abrupt climatic events with several phases of hyper-aridity, which have coincided with changes observed in the archaeological record (Parker et al., 2006; Preston et al., 2012). To date, only a few fluvial or lacustrine records covering the early to mid-Holocene period from the region have been studied. Little or no information is available for the late Holocene from these geoarchive types (Parker and Goudie, 2008). The purpose of this ongoing study is to analyse sediments from geoarchives from the interior of SE Arabia in order to determine and build the past climatic context of the area against which the archaeology can be set. Key methods are being used to understand how changes in rainfall and aridity have varied over the time using physical, chemical and biological analyses. The Mleiha region of Sharjah Emirate provides a unique record for human occupation spanning the last 125,000 years from the Palaeolithic through to the modern day (Armitage et al., 2011; Uerpmann et al., 2013; Mouton, 1999). The Jebel Faya anticline forms a narrow, discontinuous bedrock ridge, which extends approximately 30 km from Jebel Buhais in the south, through Jabel Faya, Jebel Mleiha to Sha’biyyat As Saman, a few kilometres south-west of Dhaid. -
Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region C
Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region c. 5000 BC to 676 AD D.T. Potts Introduction In a little more than 40 years the territory of the former Trucial States and modern United Arab Emirates (UAE) has gone from being a blank on the archaeological map of Western Asia to being one of the most intensively studied regions in the entire area. The present chapter seeks to synthesize the data currently available which shed light on the lifestyles, industries and foreign relations of the earliest inhabitants of the UAE. Climate and Environment Within the confines of a relatively narrow area, the UAE straddles five different topographic zones. Moving from west to east, these are (1) the sandy Gulf coast and its intermittent sabkha; (2) the desert foreland; (3) the gravel plains of the interior; (4) the Hajar mountain range; and (5) the eastern mountain piedmont and coastal plain which represents the northern extension of the Batinah of Oman. Each of these zones is characterized by a wide range of exploitable natural resources (Table 1) capable of sustaining human groups practising a variety of different subsistence strategies, such as hunting, horticulture, agriculture and pastoralism. Tables 2–6 summarize the chronological distribution of those terrestrial faunal, avifaunal, floral, marine, and molluscan species which we know to have been exploited in antiquity, based on the study of faunal and botanical remains from excavated archaeological sites in the UAE. Unfortunately, at the time of writing the number of sites from which the inventories of faunal and botanical remains have been published remains minimal. -
Flag of United Arab Emirates - a Brief History
Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers Flag of United Arab Emirates - A Brief History Where In The World Trivia The designer of the flag, Abdullah Mohammad Al Maainah, didn’t realise his design had been chosen until it was raised on the flagpole in 1971. Technical Specification Adopted: 2nd December 1971 Proportion: 1:2 Design: A green-white-black horizontal tricolour with a vertical red band on the right Colours: PMS Green: 355 Red: 032 Brief History In 1820 Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain joined together to create the Trucial States that were allied with the United Kingdom. The flag adopted to represent this alliance was a red-white-red horizontal triband with a seven pointed gold star. Between 1825 and 1952 Dubai, Kalba and Fujairah also joined the alliance The United Arab Emirates was founded in 1971 when seven of the emirates of the previous Trucial States joined together to create a single independent country. The Pan-Arab green, red, white and black colours were used for the flag which is a green-white-black horizontal tricolour with a vertical red band on the right.

An Overview and Checklist of the Native and Alien Herpetofauna of the United Arab Emirates
Herpetological Conservation and Biology 5(3):529–536. Herpetological Conservation and Biology Symposium at the 6th World Congress of Herpetology. AN OVERVIEW AND CHECKLIST OF THE NATIVE AND ALIEN HERPETOFAUNA OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 1 1 2 PRITPAL S. SOORAE , MYYAS AL QUARQAZ , AND ANDREW S. GARDNER 1Environment Agency-ABU DHABI, P.O. Box 45553, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, e-mail: [email protected] 2Natural Science and Public Health, College of Arts and Sciences, Zayed University, P.O. Box 4783, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract.—This paper provides an updated checklist of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) native and alien herpetofauna. The UAE, while largely a desert country with a hyper-arid climate, also has a range of more mesic habitats such as islands, mountains, and wadis. As such it has a diverse native herpetofauna of at least 72 species as follows: two amphibian species (Bufonidae), five marine turtle species (Cheloniidae [four] and Dermochelyidae [one]), 42 lizard species (Agamidae [six], Gekkonidae [19], Lacertidae [10], Scincidae [six], and Varanidae [one]), a single amphisbaenian, and 22 snake species (Leptotyphlopidae [one], Boidae [one], Colubridae [seven], Hydrophiidae [nine], and Viperidae [four]). Additionally, we recorded at least eight alien species, although only the Brahminy Blind Snake (Ramphotyplops braminus) appears to have become naturalized. We also list legislation and international conventions pertinent to the herpetofauna. Key Words.— amphibians; checklist; invasive; reptiles; United Arab Emirates INTRODUCTION (Arnold 1984, 1986; Balletto et al. 1985; Gasperetti 1988; Leviton et al. 1992; Gasperetti et al. 1993; Egan The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of 2007). -

Israel and the Uae: an Historic Opportunity
ISRAEL AND THE UAE: AN HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY September 2020 www.bclplaw.com On 28 August 2020, President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa, President of the United Arab Emirates (the UAE), issued Federal Decree Law Number 4 of 2020, abolishing a ban on business and trade dealings with Israel that had stood since 1972. In doing so, the UAE has become the first Gulf nation to normalise its relations with Israel and only the third Arab nation to do so, alongside Egypt and Jordan. Law Number 4 follows the Abraham Accord announced only a few weeks ago and the speed with which relations have thawed has surprised and delighted businesspeople in both jurisdictions: Businesses in the UAE can now enter openly into direct commercial agreements with their Israeli counterparts, to import, exchange, possess and trade in Israeli products in the UAE and to trade in them. The UAE: An Overview The UAE is a federation comprised of seven Emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman and Fujairah. It is one of the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (the GCC), alongside Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP 01 Although dwarfed by its neighbour, Saudi Arabia, the UAE is nevertheless considered an economic powerhouse in the Gulf region. Its diversification away from a hydro-carbon based economy was deliberate, well-structured and has been ongoing for decades. By leveraging its strategic location between East and West and focussing on logistics (for example, the development of free zone ports and the growth of its two principal airlines, Etihad and Emirates) coupled with a progressive approach to foreign investment and the development of an extensive double taxation treaty regime, the UAE is now firmly established as a world- class hub for international commerce. -
