"The rugged highlands of southern Yemen are one of the less archaeologically explored
regions of the Near East. This final report of survey and excavations by the Roots
of Agriculture in Southern Arabia (RASA) Project addresses the development of food
production and human landscapes, topics of enduring interest as scholarly conceptualizations
of the Anthropocene take shape. Along with data from Manayzah, site of the earliest
dated remains of clearly domesticated animals in Arabia, the volume also documents
some of the earliest water management technologies in Arabia, thereby anchoring regional
dates for the beginnings of pastoralism and of potential farming. The authors argue
that the initial Holocene inhabitants of Wadi Sana were Arabian hunters who adopted
limited pastoral stock in small social groups, then expanded their social collectives
through sacrifice and feasts in a sustained pastoral landscape. This volume will be
of interest to a wide audience of archaeologists including not only those working
in Arabia, but more broadly those interested in the ancient Near East, Africa, South
Asia, and in Holocene landscape histories generally"
