  • 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.

  • Maps of Caves Surveyed by Saudi Geological Survey, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
    MAPS OF CAVES SURVEYED BY SAUDI GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA COMPILED BY SAUDI CAVE UNIT Abstract This collection consists of nineteen maps and sketches of caves in Saudi Arabia explored by the Saudi Geological Survey Cave Unit between 2000 and 2004. Twelve are limestone caves located in the Umm er Radhuma or Aruma formations or in the overlying, unnamed Tsm formation. Seven are lava caves, located in Harrats Khaybar, Ithnayn, Kishb and Nawasif-Buqum. Each map or sketch is accompanied by a brief description of the cave itself, its geological setting and its location. A discussion is included of techniques and problems related to surveying caves in the Saudi Arabian environment as well as a brief history of cave exploration and mapping in Saudi Arabia. ϑϮϬϜϟ΍ ς΋΍ήΧ ΔϳΩϮόδϟ΍ ΔϴΟϮϟϮϴΠϟ΍ ΔΣΎδϤϟ΍ ΔΌϴϫ Δτγ΍ϮΑ ΎϬΤδϣ ϢΗ ϲΘϟ΍ ΔϳΩϮόδϟ΍ ΔϴΑήόϟ΍ ΔϜϠϤϤϟ΍ ϲϓ ϊϴϤΠΗ ΔϳΩϮόδϟ΍ ϑϮϬϜϟ΍ ΓΪΣϭ ΔλϼΨϟ΍ ΔΌѧѧϴϬΑ ϑϮѧѧϬϜϟ΍ ΓΪѧѧΣϭ ΎϬΘϔθѧѧϜΘγ΍ ϲѧѧΘϟ΍ ϑϮѧѧϬϜϠϟ ϲѧѧτϴτΨΗ Ϣѧѧγέϭ ΔτϳήѧѧΧ Γήθѧѧϋ ϊδѧѧΗ Ϧѧѧϣ ΔϋϮѧѧϤΠϤϟ΍ ϩάѧѧϫ ϒϟ΄ΘѧѧΗ ˱ΎϔϬϛ ήθϋ ΎϨΛ΍ ϊϘΗϭ . ϡ 2004 ϭ 2000 ϲϣΎϋ ϦϴΑ ΔϳΩϮόδѧϟ΍ ΔϴΑήѧόϟ΍ ΔѧϜϠϤϤϟ΍ ϲѧϓ ΔϳΩϮόδѧϟ΍ ΔϴѧΟϮϟϮϴΠϟ΍ ΔΣΎδѧϤϟ΍ ϊΑΎΘϟ΍ϭ ΎϫϮϠόϳ ϱάϟ΍ ϥϮϜΘϤϟ΍ ϞΧ΍Ω ϭ΃ Δϣήϋ ϥϮϜΘѧϣ ϭ΃ ΔϣϮѧοήϟ΍ ϡ΃ ϥϮϜΘѧϣ ϲѧϓ ϱήѧϴΟ ήѧΠΣ ϑϮѧϬϛ ϲѧϫϭ ΎϬϨѧϣ ΓήΣϭ ήΒϴΧ ΓήΣ ϲϓ ϊϘΗ ˬ ΔϴΑϻ ϑϮϬϛ ϲϫ ϑϮѧϬϜϟ΍ ϩάѧϫ Ϧѧϣ ΔόΒѧγϭ .

  • 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.

  • Rentierism and Political Culture in the United Arab Emirates the Case of Uaeu Students
    RENTIERISM AND POLITICAL CULTURE IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES THE CASE OF UAEU STUDENTS Submitted by Marta Saldaña Martín, to the University of Exeter as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics, June 2014.

(Signature)………………………………………………. 1 Abstract This dissertation discusses United Arab Emirates (UAE) state-society relations in historical perspective; analyses qualitatively the Emirati political culture; examines how the latter affects governmental policies in the UAE; and evaluates both qualitatively and quantitatively the political orientations and values of the Emirati educated youth. Through a discussion of existing theoretical and conceptual approaches, and the observation of the UAE case study, it argues that an important and overlooked dimension among students of state-society relations in authoritarian rentier states is citizens’ political culture, which should nonetheless be examined within a more integrative framework of analysis. Accordingly, this study employs a refined version of the holistic ‘state-in-society’ approach (Kamrava, 2008), in combination with rentier state theory (RST) and the political culture perspective (Almond & Verba, 1963), to qualitatively discuss the general Emirati political culture (agency/input), and assess how the latter affects governmental performance/policies (output); and to evaluate, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the political culture of the educated Emirati youth as the main potential supporters or opponents (agency/input) of the ruling elite.

    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXII, 1997 THE IRANIAN IRON AGE AND THE CHRONOLOGY OF SETTLEMENT IN SOUTHEASTERN ARABIA BY Peter MAGEE University of Sydney Introduction1 Within West Asian archaeology, research into the Iron Age of South- eastern Arabia (or Oman Peninsula) has recently emerged as an area of interest. From tentative beginnings in the 1960s, a wealth of archaeological material now exists that allows an understanding of the processes of domestic cultural change in this region. From the beginnings of research the influence of Iran on the material culture of this region was recognised, as was the chronological importance of these contacts. The purpose of this paper is to focus on cross-Gulf contacts in the Iron Age and their impor- tance in dating the recently re-dated Rumeilah assemblage (Boucharlat and Lombard 1991). It must be emphasised that research into this region is still at a formative stage; if this paper generates further discussions and even contradictions to the ideas presented here, it will have achieved its purpose. Rumeilah and the Iron Age of Southeastern Arabia Since 1985, archaeologists working in Southeastern Arabia have bene- fited greatly from the evidence uncovered by the French Archaeological 1 The term “Southeastern Arabia” is used here to denote the area sometimes referred to as the Oman Peninsula. In essence, this area is the modern countries of the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates. This paper grew out of the author’s Phd dissertation (Magee 1995). I would like to take the opportunity to thank Professor D.T. Potts (Sydney) who, in addition to introducing me to the archaeology of Southeastern Arabia and provid- ing me with complete access to the material from Tell Abraq, kindly read drafts of this article.

  • Introduction to Mining,SME Mining Engineering Handbook
    Hartman, Introductory Mining Engineering, Thomas, An Introduction to Mining,SME Mining Engineering Handbook Introduction Basic Definitions Mining History Mining’s Contribution to Civilization Common Minerals and Their Uses Mineral Resources in Saudi Arabia Stages of Mine Cycle Basic Definitions Mine: an excavation made in the earth to extract minerals. Mining: the activity, occupation, and industry concerned with the extraction of minerals. Mining Engineering: the art and science applied to the process of mining and the operation of mines. Mineral: a naturally occurring substance, usually inorganic, having a definite chemical composition and distinctive physical characteristics. Rock: an assemblage of minerals Ore: A natural aggregation of one or more solid minerals that can be mined, processed and sold at a profit. Waste or gangue: mineral that lacks utility and value when mined (gangue is more intimately associated with ore than is waste) Mineral deposit: geologic occurrence of minerals in relatively concentrated form. Ore deposit: economic occurrence of minerals that can be extracted at a profit. Metallic ores: include ores of the ferrous metals (iron, manganese, molybdenum, and tungsten); base metals (copper, lead, zinc, and tin); precious metals (gold, silver, and platinum); and radioactive metals (uranium, thorium, and radium). Nonmetallic ores: consist of industrial minerals such as phosphate, potash, stone, sand, gravel, sulfur, salt, and industrial diamonds. Mineral fuels: include coal, uranium, and several less common, marginal sources (lignite, oil shale, tar sand, and coal bed methane). Surface Mine: An excavation that is entirely open or operated from the surface. Underground Mine: An excavation that consists of openings for human and machine entry driven below the surface.

Marché du “Zoma” ; l’herboristerie en plein air. 1940 ». Il s’agit d’un cliché – consultable en ligne sur la base Ulysse – de G. Ramiandrisoa qui s’inscrit dans une série d’une quarantaine de photographies données au Ministère de la France d’Outre-Mer en 1946. Pourquoi les auteurs de ce numéro se sont-ils arrêtés à ce tableau si tananarivien ? N’auraient-ils pas pu s’accommoder d’autres clichés plus anciens ? Celui-ci a en effet quelque chose de contemporain, voire d’actuel, quand on sait la fascination qu’exercent médecine traditionnelle ou phytopraticiens. Cette « herboristerie » est à la croisée de deux mondes, ceux que P. Boiteau évoque en 1942, lors d’une exposition consacrée aux plantes médicinales, à Tsimbazaza.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Suhail Alhejji for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on June 3, 2019. Title: Timing and Composition of Volcanism at Harrat Ithnayn, Western Saudi Arabia. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Adam J.R. Kent Western Saudi Arabia hosts a number of young volcanic fields, known as “Harrats”. Harrats cover a significant proportion of western Saudi Arabia and are associated with significant volcanic hazards. However, the ultimate cause of volcanic activity remains unclear. Younger volcanism (<12 Ma) is clearly represented by the north-south-trending region known as the Makkah-Madinah-Nafud (MMN) line, which consists of three moderate sized volcanic fields: Harrat Rahat, Harrat Khaybar, and Harrat Ithnayn. Harrat Ithnayn is the northern-most and the least studied volcanic field of the MMN line, and it has been suggested that Ithnayn represents the youngest field produced by age progressive volcanism along the MMN line. Harrat Ithnayn is thus a critical piece in the puzzle in determining the causes of the volcanic activity in the MMN line region. This research focuses primarily on investigating the age and composition of the volcanic activity at Harrat Ithnayn and how it changes through time. I apply geochronological, geochemical, and petrological methods to understand the origin and tectonic controls on volcanism in this region. I report new age determinations on 10 lava flows, one sample from the northern part of Harrat Khaybar and 9 samples from Harrat Ithnayn, by the 40Ar-39Ar laser step heating method. All ages are younger than 2 Ma and most of these lavas range in age between ~500 and 120 Ka.
