Archaeological investigations in the north-western part of the Arabian
Peninsula has increased during the last 15 years. One of the major sites
in the region is the ancient oasis of Taymāʾ, known as a commercial hub
on the so-called Incense Road connecting South Arabia with the Eastern
Mediterranean. In the context of this new research a multidisciplinary
project by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH)
and the Orient Department of the German Archaeological Institute
(DAI)has been investigating the archaeology and ancient environment of
Taymāʾ since 2004. A major aimof this project was the development of new
perspectives of the site and the region, characterised by elaborating
the local socio-cultural and economic contexts. So far, Taymāʾ has been
known mainly through exogenous sources.
