Special Project
Hatta Archaeological Site 300-2500 B.C.
The archaeological survey conducted at Jabel Al- Yamh site in Hatta revealed 84 graves spread below the mountainside. These graves, which were built from stone blocks, are characterized by their own architectural style of Hafit, um al-Nar, Wadi Souq and Iron Age periods. Many artifacts were found inside them, including remains of pottery and soft stone vessels, decorated shells, bronze rings and different kinds of stone beads. Also, remains of human skeletons were found inside the graves. The study of the bone proved to date back to early Islamic times, which confirms the reuse of burials during that era.
