Advances in UAE Archaeology details the results of new excavations conducted across the United Arab Emirates over the last few years. These excavations have revealed a wealth of new data on all periods of UAE archaeology from the Palaeolithic to the recent past. Some of these discoveries have filled in important gaps in our knowledge, while others have fundamentally revised what we thought we knew already. For example, the Marawah Island excavations have added a new facet to our understanding of the Neolithic period by revealing intriguing and hitherto unknown funerary rituals. Excavations in Al Ain in the emirate of Abu Dhabi continue to reveal extraordinary evidence of falaj irrigation, stretching back 3000 years. The ubiquity of this system across this oasis city further validates its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of particular importance is the discovery of extensive remains from the Late Pre-Islamic period, a significant time in history that has been best revealed in the excavations at Mleiha in the emirate of Sharjah.The research presented here was conducted by specialists from across the world working alongside an ever-growing cadre of Emirati archaeologists who will take the lead in the coming years in revealing more of this country’s extraordinary archaeology and history.

Moving the Past explores the challenges of studying discontinued movement cultures—practices and embodied skills that have lost their continuity and are no longer ‘living’ traditions. Comprising seven chapters, the volume combines detailed case studies with theoretical insights to address a core question: What kind of knowledge about the past can be gained when researchers use their own bodies to relearn skills preserved solely in historical and archaeological sources? Case studies examine topics ranging from ancient Greek hoplite warfare to Victorian-era Irish wrestling, medieval military drills and physical exercise regimens, and early-modern fencing. These focused analyses are complemented by a theoretical chapter and a Coda, investigating the methods, promises, and limitations of experiential research on discontinued movement cultures. The book arises from a 2021 conference panel, “Experimental and Experiential Research in Archaeology,” organised by the Faculty of Archaeology, University of Warsaw (Poland). Its contributors include archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and independent researchers with a shared interest in historical embodied practices. This interdisciplinary mix ensures a diverse perspective, appealing to academics and practitioners of re-enactment, living history, and public archaeology alike.
