The Past

20,000 - 2,000 years ago
Qattarah


















In the early 1970s a Shimal-type long tomb was excavated by an Iraqi team at Qattarah, a neighbourhood in Al Ain in the interior of Abu Dhabi. The tomb at Qattarah was one of the very first tombs of 2nd millennium BC date excavated in the Emirates. The material from this excavation is stored and, to some extent, displayed in the Al Ain Museum. Among the most notable finds is a gold ornament consisting of a double-headed, single-bodied animal. Similar finds are known from the sites of Dhayah in northern Ras al-Khaimah and Bidya in northern Fujairah. These were probably worn as a large medallion in a necklace.
