After about 5-year of survey in Al Ṣalaylī valley, conducted by the Heidelberg University team, in November 2022 have started the proper archaeological excavation at the site. The documented archaeological evidence which characterized the site of Al Ṣalaylī, span from the Iron Age to the Late Islamic periods. Despite the high number of hut tombs, may be dated to the (Late?) Iron Age period, the 2022 season of archaeological excavation focused on that area of the site previously labelled “Persian Village”. The excavation confirmed that part of the site was inhabited and exploited during the Islamic period. Due the different typology of structures put in evidence in the partially excavated Trench 1, the area has been renamed as “Settlement / Workshop”. The first season of archaeological excavation was made possible thanks to the Beatrice de Cardi award funded by the Society of Antiquaries of London.
