Excavations at ed‐Dur (Umm al‐Qaiwain, U.A.E.)

Abstract

The results of seven weeks’research in 1989 by a Belgian team from Gent University at ed‐Dur, in the Emirate of Umm al‐Qaiwain, are presented. Excavations were continued in the southern part of the site. A fourth altar was found near the temple (area M); graves were excavated in other areas (areas N and AT). A large, undisturbed, semi‐subterranean tomb with a barrel‐vault and enclosure (area AV) was also discovered.
