Excavations at Deroisa, Al Khor, Qatar (poster). Arrok, H., Abbes, F., & Al Naimi, F. In Hoyland, R. & Morriss, S., editors, Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies, Vol 44, 2014, volume 44, pages 11–14. Archaeopress, Oxford, 2014. WOS:000381715100002abstract bibtex Between February and April 2007 a team from the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Maison de l'Orient et de la Mediterranee, Lyon, France) and the Qatar Museums Authority undertook excavations on a later prehistoric period site to the north of Al Khor, close to the Island of Ben Ghanam, on the north-east coast of Qatar. Al Khor lies at the western extent of Wadi Al Jalta, where archaeological research since the 1950s has found significant evidence for occupation from the Neolithic period onwards. The excavations recorded circular-shaped structures associated with fragments of oyster shell, fish bone, and a large amount of flint. The extensive assemblage of bone would suggest that these people once relied very heavily on marine resources and fishing. Much of the flint was indicative of a blade-based industry rather than that of scrapers normally associated with domestic occupation. The proliferations of tools also suggest a local culture based within Al Khor rather than a culture indicative of a wider phenomenon. The analysis of this site is now making a significant contribution to our understanding of prehistoric sites in Qatar and the wider prehistory of the Gulf in general.
