Heritage Commission Unearths 50,000-Year-Old Artifacts at Al-Qurainah Site in Riyadh
Saudi Arabia's Heritage Commission has discovered some pottery pieces and stone tools in Al-Qurainah, dating back more than 50,000 years to the Middle Stone Age, according to the Saudi Press Agency. In collaboration with leading Saudi experts, the commission has successfully completed an archaeological survey and excavation project at a site in the town of Al-Qurainah, northwest of Riyadh. The survey and excavation work sought to gather extensive data to advance scientific research on the Al-Qurainah site, comprehend its cultural and historical timeline, identify its architectural styles and construction techniques, and document the archaeological discoveries uncovered during the project. Interestingly, the survey and excavation efforts also uncovered circular structures believed to be tombs dating back to the third and second millennia BC. Moreover, the team identified an ancient road extending from the valley to the top of the plateau at Al-Qurainah, reaching Riyadh. This finding is among the major results of the Al-Yamama Archaeological Project, launched by the Heritage Commission to redefine the archaeological map of the Riyadh Region and its surrounding areas. Through precise surveys and advanced research techniques, the project documents previously unexamined sites and explores patterns of human settlement across various eras, mirroring the region's rich cultural and civilizational heritage. Overall, these initiatives and efforts stand as a testament to the Heritage Commission's wider mission to document and preserve national heritage sites, foster public awareness of their significance, and showcase the Kingdom's cultural legacy.
