The Heritage Commission has concluded the third season of the archaeological excavation project at the Al-Ma'mala site in the Al-Baha region, an effort aimed to uncover and understand the historical significance of archaeological sites across the Kingdom.
This season's excavations yielded considerable findings, including a series of well-preserved stone walls constructed with meticulously cut granite blocks, some reinforced with mud bricks. These walls, adorned with traces of plaster, demonstrate the attention to detail and advanced construction methods employed in ancient times. The height of the walls ranged from 50 to 120 centimeters and 50 to 80 centimeters in width, highlighting the sophisticated engineering and architectural techniques of that era, SPA reported.
Archaeologists discovered two distinct architectural units at the site, providing valuable insights into ancient lifestyles. These structures featured well-defined spaces, suggesting multiple uses and reflecting the advanced architectural practices of the time.
The excavations also unearthed a diverse collection of artifacts, including 230 pieces of pottery, some adorned with intricate geometric motifs, 48 stone pieces, 26 pieces of colored glass, 35 metal tools, and 17 stone tools, providing evidence of the site's vibrant commercial and industrial activity.
Al-Ma'mala site holds significant historical and commercial importance. Located 13 kilometers east of Al-Aqiq Governorate and 45 kilometers from the Al-Baha Region capital, it lies close to the ancient Elephant Road, a vital trade route for commercial caravans coming from southern Arabia before the advent of Islam.
Over time, the road evolved into an important pilgrimage route during the Islamic eras, further contributing to the prosperity of the surrounding villages and cities.
The Heritage Commission emphasized its commitment to conducting comprehensive archaeological surveys and excavations across the Kingdom. By employing advanced techniques in geographical surveying and field excavation, the commission aims to uncover and document new antiquities, shedding light on the Kingdom's rich history.
