The
Emirates A Natural History is the most comprehensive
reference book on the entire range of wildlife in the United Arab
Emirates. Written by 34 experts in their various disciplines, it
is illustrated with unique photographs, many of which are by award-winning
cameramen. Whether your interest lies in identifying ancient fossils,
hiking through mountain wadis, identifying birds in your garden,
exploring underground caves, fossicking along the shore, snorkelling
in the shallows, SCUBA diving over coral reefs or fishing from a
boat, you will find all the information that you need in this title
to enhance your pleasure in these activities. If your interests
are of a more specific nature, such as studying plant communities,
recording insects or investigating the behaviour and ecology of
particular species, this book will provide invaluable background
information on studies that have taken place to date and what species
one is likely to encounter. Much of the work that has been completed
on Emirati wildlife has been carried out by enthusiastic amateurs
and this book is both a tribute to that effort and also an encouragement
for others to make their own contribution. But more than all these
things, The Emirates A Natural History is quite simply
a celebration of nature at its best. Who could turn these pages
and not be in awe of the incredible beauty and variety of the natural
world? Conservation draws its roots and strength from such understanding
and appreciation. The real wonder lies, not on these pages, or in
these photographs, but in the wild, where nature still finds a home.
Long may it remain so!

Fishing
forms an important activity in many societies throughout the world
today and played a significant role in the life and subsistence
of many prehistoric societies. Past archaeological research on fishing
has often tended to concentrate on particular sites or chronological
periods. This study aims to adopt an inter-disciplinary approach
to model regional interactions between coastal communities and their
environment. The geographical framework for this study is the Arabian
Gulf/Gulf of Oman, with a particular focus on the southern Gulf
region and present day coastline of the United Arab Emirates. The
environmental and archaeological background to the region is considered
first and modern fisheries data, as well as ethnographic data relating
to traditional fisheries is presented. An evaluation is carried
out of all the archaeological evidence for the adoption of particular
fisheries technology. The principal data forming the basis for this
study are 23 archaeological fish bone assemblages from sites located
throughout the Arabian Gulf/Gulf of Oman. The chronological focus
is from the 5th millennium BC to the Late Islamic period. In order
to comprehend the regional variation in fisheries, sites were selected
on the basis that they represented a variety of site types in different
environments scattered throughout the region. This research provides
for the first time a detailed insight into the status of past fisheries
resources in the region as well as an insight into the fishing strategies
utilised by the early coastal inhabitants of the Gulf during the
course of the past 7000 years. The works special focus is
on the use of biometrical techniques to enable size reconstruction
of economically important fish groups. The overall aim of this research
(the first in a planned series of Abu Dhabi Islands Archaeological
Survey Monographs) is to consider the interactions between the goals
of the coastal societies, their fishing strategies and environment;
the work overall goes some way towards addressing some of the key
questions of relevance to the archaeology of south-east Arabia.

A major new book on the archaeology of the UAE has just been published
by the Zayed Centre for Heritage and History, part of the Emirates
Heritage Club, in association with Trident
Press.
Entitled simply
Archaeology of the United Arab Emirates, the book contains the
collected papers of the 1st International Conference on UAE Archaeology,
held in Abu Dhabi in April 2001 under the patronage of Deputy
Prime Minister HH Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The book, edited
by Professor Dan Potts (University of Sydney), Peter Hellyer and
Dr. Hassan Naboodah, Director of the Zayed Centre for History
and Heritage, contains nine papers by ADIAS personnel, all of
which refer, to some extent at least, to work undertaken by ADIAS
over the years.
ADIAS contributors
include Beatrice de Cardi (on the evolution of archaeology in
the UAE and its future), Elizabeth Shepherd-Popescu (on Dalma
and Marawah), Vincent Charpentier (on aspects of flint technology),
Heiko Kallweit (on the Late Neolithic period in the U.A.E.), Dr.
Robert Carter (on maritime trade patterns in the Bronze Age, including
possible way stations on islands like Ghagha, Sir Bani Yas, Marawah
and Balghelam, Dr. Joe Elders, (on the pre-islamic Christian monastery
on Sir Bani Yas), Dr. Geoffrey King and Peter Hellyer (on sites
in the Abu Dhabi desert), Dan Hull (on the sulphur mines at Jebel
Dhanna) and Dr. Mark Beech (on the development of fishing, using
data from Dalma, Marawah, Balghelam and other island sites).
The study of the archaeology of the United Arab
Emirates began only in the late 1950s, a century later than in
some of the other countries bordering the Arabian Gulf. Until
then, it was believed, wrongly, that this southern Gulf country,
comprised largely of arid deserts and mountains, had played only
a peripheral role in human development in the Middle East. Over
the last four decades, however, investigations of the countrys
ancient heritage have shown that although there are no great cities
or massive monuments under the sands, the land now making up the
U.A.E., including its many offshore islands, has, in fact, played
a major part in the emergence of maritime commerce in the region
for over 7500 years. From seaborne trade with Mesopotamia in around
5500 BC, by which time the trade in Gulf pearls had already begun,
to long-distance commercial links with India and Pakistan by 3000
BC and to an efflorescence of navigation skills that permitted
Emirati sailors to reach as far as China 2000 years ago, the U.A.E.
has been crucial to the development of Middle Eastern civilisations.
This
elegant publication presents the major results of 40 years of
archaeological research in a series of papers by leaders in their
respective fields. In so doing it provides a fascinating insight
into the diverse, but little-known, history and heritage of the
region. From the first signs of human occupation, in the Late
Stone Age, to the copper-mining industry of the Bronze Age and
its international trade links, to the short-lived existence of
Christian communities before Islam, and then into the Islamic
period with its far-flung commerce, the archaeological evidence
of the U.A.E.s place in the history of the region is clearly
documented.
This
book was officially launched on the 18th July 2003 at the British
Museum during the Seminar for
Arabian Studies reception.
