Abstract

One of the least known, yet extremely important, archaeological sites in Failaka Island, off Kuwait, is Sa’ida village. A joint Gulf mission started excavation in Sa’ida in 2001. The excavations on Hill 1 then exposed the first Friday mosque discovered on Failaka and in the State of Kuwait. The material data revealed that the village dates to the late Islamic period, specifically to the end of the seventeenth century until the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the village was abandoned due to the plague epidemic that swept the region. Since 2016, four fieldwork campaign indicated that the village was inhabited in the early Islamic era in the seventh–eighth centuries and continued until the beginning of the twentieth century, with a few but long gaps. The six campaigns revealed religious and domestic buildings and were sufficient to reassess the chronology of occupation and abandonment of Sa’ida. They provided a valuable insight into the organisation of the site and the lifestyle of the population, with large courtyard houses and small one-room buildings.

菲拉卡岛萨伊达村最新发掘结果
在科威特外的菲拉卡岛上,有一个最不为人知,但却极其重要的考古遗址,那就是萨伊达村。2001年,一个海湾联合任务开始在萨伊达进行挖掘。在1号山上的挖掘工作暴露了在菲拉卡和科威特国发现的第一座星期五清真寺。材料资料显示,这个村庄的历史可以追溯到伊斯兰教时期晚期,特别是17世纪末到19世纪初,当时由于瘟疫席卷了整个地区,这个村庄被遗弃了。自2016年以来,四次实地调查表明,该村庄在七至八世纪早期的伊斯兰时代就有人居住,并一直持续到二十世纪初,其间有几个但很长的空白。这六次运动揭示了宗教和家庭建筑,足以重新评估萨伊达被占领和被遗弃的年代。它们为场地的组织和人们的生活方式提供了有价值的见解,包括大的四合院和小的一室建筑。
