The Past

20,000 - 2,000 years ago
Yaw Sahhab




















A multi-period site in the deep sands south of the Liwa oasis in southern Abu Dhabi. Yaw Sahhab was visited and documented by the former British Ambassador to the UAE, Anthony Harris, who identified flint arrowheads and scrapers of the Arabian bifacial tradition at the site, as well as broken pieces of ostrich eggshell, and fragments of pottery dating the the sixteenth-twentieth centuries AD This is the first site of mid-Holocene date recorded in the desert south of Liwa, although similar material has been found north of Liwa at Habshan.
