Abstract

In order to understand the role of water resources in the establishment and long-term evolution of settlements investigated by the French Archaeological Mission in the UAE in the oasis of Masāfī, wells and springs of all periods, identified at the surface and in stratified contexts, were mapped and studied thanks to a multidisciplinary approach combining archaeology, geomorphology, geoarchaeology and ethnography. Our study demonstrates that:

Our study also stresses the importance of well and spring irrigation in the development of the sedentary settlements in south-eastern Arabia, technologies that have often been neglected in the regional archaeological literature in favour of the qanāt.

Masāfī (UAE)绿洲地下水开采:历时性视角

为了了解水资源在阿联酋Masāfī绿洲的建立和长期演变中的作用，在地表和分层环境中发现的所有时期的水井和泉水都被绘制出来，并通过多学科方法结合考古学、地貌学、地理考古学和人种学进行了研究。我们的研究表明:- Masāfī绿洲位于特定的地质环境中，需要在可到达的深度积累地下水资源。-从公元前2000年中期到公元20世纪下半叶，地下水资源保持相当稳定。在这方面，绿洲在某些时期的明显废弃不能用水的枯竭来解释。-由于阿联酋经济的现代化和工业化，地下水资源自20世纪下半叶以来急剧减少，这是由于采用了新的取水技术、电机泵和随后的钻井。我们的研究还强调了水井和春灌在阿拉伯东南部定居定居点发展中的重要性，这些技术在有利于qanāt的区域考古文献中经常被忽视。

期刊介绍： In recent years the Arabian peninsula has emerged as one of the major new frontiers of archaeological research in the Old World. Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy is a forum for the publication of studies in the archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, and early history of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Both original articles and short communications in English, French, and German are published, ranging in time from prehistory to the Islamic era.
