Abstract: Excavations carried out by the German Archaeological Institute and the Saudi Commission for Tourism andNational Heritage (now Heritage Commission at the Ministry of Culture) at the oasis of Tayma since 2004 evidencedpottery production at the site from the late 4th/early 3rd millennium BCE onwards. The paper presents, for the first time,the chronostratigraphic pottery sequence at Tayma based on the latest excavation results. Comparative evidence of theceramic material suggests that the relations between north-western Arabia and the Levant were closer than with anyother adjacent region. On the other hand, results of archaeometric analyses of Middle to Late Bronze Age ceramicsfrom both Tayma and Qurayyah indicate a technological autonomy of individual oases in pottery production alreadyduring the late 2nd millennium BCE. Existence of the oasis’s long-distance contact during subsequent periods is evidencedby imports, e.g. Attic pottery and Nabataean Fine Ware from Petra.

The volume presents the proceedings of the second international workshop on the Archaeology of the Arabian Peninsula. Its subtitle, 'Connecting the evidence', portrayed our striving for investigating relationships and connections between different regions, materials and themes of research. The nine contributions straddle the entire expanse of the Peninsula and beyond, in order to counter the present divide in different academic disciplines. The chronological focus spans from the Pre Pottery Neolithic, the Bronze and Iron Ages down to the Islamic Middle Ages. The analyzed themes range from funerary to cultic landscapes, oasis formation and role of metallurgy for desert dwellers in state-of-the-art interdisciplinary perspectives and field case studies. … Der Band enthält die Ergebnisse des zweiten internationalen Workshops zur Archäologie der Arabischen Halbinsel. Der Untertitel "Connecting the evidence" verdeutlicht unser Bestreben, Beziehungen und Verbindungen zwischen verschiedenen Regionen, Materialien und Forschungsthemen zu untersuchen. Die neun Beiträge erstrecken sich über die gesamte Halbinsel und darüber hinaus, um der gegenwärtigen Kluft zwischen den verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen entgegenzuwirken. Der chronologische Schwerpunkt reicht vom vorkeramischen Neolithikum über die Bronze- und Eisenzeit bis hin zum islamischen Mittelalter. Die untersuchten Themen reichen von Grab- und Kultlandschaften über die Entstehung von Oasen bis hin zur Rolle der Metallurgie für die Wüstenbewohner in modernen interdisziplinären Perspektiven und Fallstudien. |
