الربيع بن حبيب الإباضي بين أهل السنة والإباضية جزء من رسالة: زوائد مسند الربيع بن حبيب الإباضي على كتب السنة - حسن, محمد عبد الحليم (مجلة کلية الآداب, 2025)
ملخص البحث:يهدف هذا البحث، المعنون "زوائد مسند الربيع بن حبيب الإباضي على كتب السنة: دراسة تحليلية"، إلى تقييم مسند الربيع بن حبيب من منظور أهل السنة والجماعة، مع التركيز على مكانته لدى الإباضية. يتناول البحث التعريف بالربيع بن حبيب ومسنده، مستعرضًا نشأته وشيوخه وتلاميذه ومكانته العلمية من وجهة نظر الإباضية، حيث يعتبرون المسند أصح كتاب بعد القرآن الكريم.إلا أن الدراسة تنتقل بعد ذلك إلى تحليل المسند بمنهج نقدي وفقًا لمعايير أهل السنة والجماعة. وتُبرز الإشكاليات الجوهرية التي تضعف من موثوقية المسند، مثل غياب توثيق الربيع بن حبيب وشيخه أبي عبيدة مسلم بن أبي كريمة في كتب رجال أهل السنة، وإشكالية الانقطاع في إسناد المسند الذي يعتمد على طريق واحد في أغلبه. كما تسلط الضوء على غياب المسند عن مدونات العلماء الأوائل من أهل السنة، واضطراب بعض مروياته ومخالفتها لما صح في كتب السنة المعتبرة، مثل حديث "إنما الأعمال بالنيات" و"اطلبوا العلم ولو في الصين"، وروايات تنفي الشفاعة لأهل الكبائر. ويختتم البحث برفض تبرير السرية التاريخية لغياب المسند، مؤكدًا أن هذه الإشكاليات تجعل المسند غير قابل للاعتماد عليه في إثبات السنة أو العقيدة عند أهل السنة، إلا ما وافق الثابت منها.

Defining the Intangible: Negotiating Intangible Cultural Heritage in Modern Oman - Matani, Ayat al- (Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, 2025)
Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), particularly traditional music, is vital yet vulnerable. Traditional music intertwines with cultural rituals, embodying spirituality and diverse human experiences. However, how cultural heritage is negotiated and preserved in modern Oman remains underexplored. This study utilizes ethnographic interviews with government officials, institutional archivists, grassroots archivists, and musicians to reveal perspectives on preserving Omani musical heritage. Findings indicate that governmental institutions regard ICH as pivotal for national identity, tourism, unification, and economic growth, prioritizing structured archiving and formal presentation. Institutional archives thus provide extensive yet static collections of musical recordings and visual media, emphasizing curated representations over dynamic authenticity. Conversely, grassroots archivists favor participatory, flexible preservation methods driven by personal commitment and cultural concerns. They document live, spontaneous musical events, leveraging social media to promote community engagement and cultural continuity. Grassroots efforts effectively capture the evolving, lived experience of musical traditions, complementing institutional strategies. The coexistence of institutional and grassroots archival practices creates a balanced preservation framework, combining structured protection with community-driven authenticity. This dual approach provides a holistic model for sustaining Omani musical heritage as both a national asset and a living tradition.

Zanzibar Was a Country: Exile and Citizenship between East Africa and the Gulf By Nathaniel Mathews - Wint-Frederick, Hollian (Journal of Social History, 2025)
Tracing the lives, experiences, and ideas of Zanzibari Arabs through rich oral and written archives, Zanzibar Was a Country demonstrates the significance of “experiences in diaspora” to Indian Ocean postcolonial national belonging (2). Belonging, in Mathews’ rendering, refers to both “sentiment” —the idea of Zanzibar as a sovereign state and collective attachment to it—and citizenship—recognized political status and the infrastructures that produce it. The book makes two key intersecting interventions: first, by examining the political economy of citizenship from the era of developmental colonialism to the hydrocarbon-fueled developmentalism of the Arabian Gulf, Mathews presents an important analysis of decolonization as an economic process in which the tensions of the late colonial era continued. Second, he explores the complex and diverse articulations of Zanzibari-Omani belonging that emerged among diasporic Zanzibaris in this context, both in individual memory and through a vibrant vernacular historiography. This is a book that takes seriously not just the memories of its interlocutors, but their scholarship; their own endeavors in writing their history.

أنشطة الإرسالية العربية في مسقط خلال فترة السلطان فيصل بن تركي: 1892-1913 - الباطني, خالد بن عبد الله (حوليات آداب عين شمس, 2025)
تسعى هذه الدراسة الى دراسة نشاط الإرسالية العربية المسيحية الأمريكية في مسقط أثناء حكم السلطان فيصل لعمان. تبين هذه الدراسة ان نشاط الإرسالية في مسقط شكل تحديا دينيا و سياسيا و اجتماعيا و دبلوماسيا للسلطان فيصل و للأهلي في عمان و خلق ردات فعل نجم عنها تطورا على المستوى التعليمي و الطبي في مسقط. tفي عام 1893 تمكنت الإرسالية العربية من إنشاء مقر لها في مسقط حيث كان هدفها التوسع في أرجاء عمان و الوصول إلى أكبر مساحة ممكنة من الجزيرة العربية. أما هدفها الأساسي فكان تنصير سكان المنطقة. قام نشاط الإرسالية على توزيع الأناجيل والكتب الدينية وإجراء النقاشات مع الأهالي. لكن شاءت الظروف آنذاك أن توكل القنصلية البريطانية مجموعة من العبيد المحررين إلى الإرسالية لتهتم بهم، فأصبحوا نواة العمل التبشيري في مسقط. طورت الإرسالية أساليب عملها فبدأت تقدم خدمات طبية وتعليمية إلى مجتمع كان يفتقر إلى مثل هذا الخدمات وفي أمس الحاجة إليها. وهكذا أنشأت مدرسة للبنين وأخرى للبنات وأحضرت أطباء للعمل في مسقط ومطرح. ولكنها واجهت بعض الصعوبات، ولا سيما قلة المنتسبين إلى مدارسها وبروز مشروع بسيط حاول أن ينافس مشروعها التعليمي: بالتزامن مع نشاطها بدأ السلطان فيصل بمحاولة تحسين الخدمات الطبية في مسقط وتبرع بإنشاء مستشفى فيها. ولكن الإرسالية حاولت منافسة هذا المشروع من خلال إنشاء مستشفى في مطرح، ما أدى إلى خلاف كبير بين السلطان من جهة والإرسالية والقنصلية الأمريكية من. استغل الثوار، وبالأخص أنصار الإمامة، نشاط الإرسالية التبشيري وقاموا بمهاجمتها هي والسلطان. لم يقف المجتمع العماني مكتوف اليدين إزاء نشاط الإرسالية خلال فترة حكم السلطان فيصل، فقد تشكلت مبادرات محلية من الأهالي لمواجهتها بالإمكانيات المتاحة.

M’addib s and Migrant Laborers: Migration from Ottoman Trablus al-Gharb to Djerba, Tunisia in the Early 20th Century - Love Jr, Paul M. (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 2025)
This article follows the history of migration from the mountain villages of the Jebel Nafusa in Ottoman Trablus al-Gharb (in today’s northwestern Libya) to the southern Tunisian island of Djerba in the early 20th century. It situates this local history of migration within the broader framework of Maghribi migration both before and during the colonial era in Libya (1911–43), while tracing the histories of two categories of migrants, in particular, manual laborers and Qur’an teachers (m’addib-s). The article makes three claims: (1) Nafusi migration was as much the result of local historical circumstances as it was a response to colonialism; (2) the historical experience of migration of Nafusis differed according to social class; and (3) local circumstances shaped the dynamics of migrant integration in the Maghrib. In doing so, I demonstrate how Nafusi migration to Djerba both conforms to and diverges from the larger history of late Ottoman and colonial-era migration in Tunisia. By shifting the focus away from the colonial moment, I make the case for foregrounding longer-term regional connections and migrations that linked different spaces across the Maghrib and also attend to local histories and what they offer in the way of caveats and exceptions.

Preserving Omani Intangible Heritage: A Study of Folktale Authenticity and Classification - Akkawi, Aya Walid Fayyad; Rubai'ey, Fatema; Dineen, Gerard (المجلة العلمية لکلية الآداب جامعة أسيوط, 2025)
To prevent Omani folktale heritage from being lost or distorted, especially in the era of globalization and digitization, and since there is no oral documentation of Omani folktales, there is a need to investigate the authenticity of documented Omani folktales published in print and to classify them based on tale-type. This study attempts to document a comprehensive collection of Omani folktales from existing materials published in or translated into English by developing a classification system based on Hasan El-Shamy‘s established tale-type index. Further, the study aims to assess the authenticity of these folktales by investigating Omani cultural markers found in them and identifying potential distortions or adaptations.

Algeria's Ghardaia violence may rise in the long term - Oxford Analytica (Expert Briefings, 2015)
The potential for violence in GhardaiaViolent clashes took place on July 8 in the oasis city of Ghardaia in the south of Algeria, between the region's two major communities, the Arabs and the Berbers. Clashes between the two groups have occurred sporadically since the 1970s. However, the most recent ones were the most violent so far: 23 people died and dozens were injured. The government deployed 8,000 troops in the city, but the escalating violence has raised concerns about the government's ability to resolve the conflict.More violence in Ghardaia would damage the government's reputation, undermining its ability to solve domestic crises.This would lead to a further loss of credibility at home and abroad.It could also cause concerns among oil investors, at a time when Algiers is looking to increase its hydrocarbons production.

Language Borrowing in Oman: Evidence of Balushi Influence in Spoken Omani Dialect - Dhahab, Maryam Nawaf al- (Sultan Qaboos University, 2025)
This study explores the borrowing of Balushi words into the Omani dialect, focusing on three commonly used terms: /sˤar.da/ (severe cold), /ˈpæn.ke/ (fan or propeller) and /ˈkun.bil/ (thick blanket). Through a survey of 50 participants from eight Omani governorates, the research examines the usage, pronunciation and recognition of these words among native speakers. The study suggests that while these terms may share origins with Farsi and Hindi, their phonetic features and local pronunciations point to more direct borrowing from Balushi. The research highlights the impact of multilingualism in Oman and the subtle ways in which borrowed words become embedded in local identity. Despite the limited sample size, this paper encourages further investigation into linguistic borrowing and regional variation in Oman.

Sijilmasa: The Capital of Gold and Trade Caravans During the Reign of the Banu Midrar (140 AH – 366 AH / 757 CE – 976 CE) - Ahmed, Naima Abdulmawla Salem (Bani Waleed University Journal of Humanities and Applied Sciences, 2025)
During the reign of the Banu Midrar (140–366 AH / 757–976 CE), the city of Sijilmasa witnessed significant economic development in various aspects, particularly in trade. This study focuses on the role played by the Banu Midrar in revitalizing commercial caravan routes and organizing trade networks during their rule. It also highlights their efforts to establish extensive trade relations with the Eastern Islamic world, North Africa, al-Andalus, and Sub-Saharan Africa, with gold being one of the most prominent commodities exchanged. The researcher adopted an analytical inductive approach to examine historical events and facts and to understand the motivations behind the imposition of taxes and customs on land and maritime trade by the Banu Midrar, which contributed to elevating Sijilmasa’s global commercial status during the 2nd to 4th centuries AH (8th to 10th centuries CE). Additionally, the researcher employed the descriptive method to trace and analyze historical developments, while also incorporating other scientific methodologies where necessary. This approach led to findings that underscore the pivotal role of the Banu Midrar Emirate in the flourishing of trade in Sijilmasa.

Archaeometallurgy in northern Oman—Diachronic copper production on a smelting site in Wadi al-Salh - Bukowski, Krzysztof; Pieńkowska, Agnieszka; Woronko, Barbara; Moska, Piotr; Kiersnowski, Hubert; Piestrzyński, Adam; Ghafri, Waleed Awabh Harib Said al- (Archaeometry, 2025)
Archaeometallurgical studies at the Salh site in northern Oman have provided new data on copper technology in the Bronze Age and Islamic periods. Archaeological results indicate that it may have functioned seasonally. Slag analyses have shown possible technological changes over the centuries. Smelting was carried out under reducing conditions, using oxidized copper ores weathering zone deposits. The scale of copper production at Salh1 was relatively small in both periods, but—due to its strategic location near important trade routes—the site could have functioned as part of a short-range as well as long-range mercantile network.

Ibāḍīsm in the Eastern Ḥanafite (-Māturīdite) Firaq Tradition -With Special Reference to Abū Muṭīʿ Makḥūl b. al-Faḍl al-Nasafī’s (d. 318/930) Kitāb al-Radd- - Gömbeyaz, Kadir (Hitit İlahiyat Dergisi, 2025)
Compiling the political-theological groups and doctrines that emerged within Islamic society has been a genre of literature that Muslim scholars have paid attention since the early periods. While some of these works, generally focusing on the ideas of these groups, attempt to gather data about them, others are not content with this and aim to demonstrate their erroneous views and the extent to which they have deviated from the right path. Therefore, heresiography has often proceeded not as a field study but on a theoretical basis and, at times, with ideological concerns. Various researchers have suggested that within the broader heresiographical literature, certain traditions of sect classification have emerged, distinguished by their approaches, classifying methods, and the types of information they use regarding the sects. One such classification tradition is the Eastern Ḥanafite (-Māturīdite) Firaq Tradition, which emerged in the Khorasan and especially Transoxiana regions, developed by authors who defined themselves in terms of theological identity as Ḥanafite and, in later centuries, as an extension of this, Māturīdite. The most striking feature of this tradition is that it places the 73-sect ḥadīth at the center of its classification, reaching this number through a mathematical formulation in which six main heretical sects, each consisting of twelve sub-groups, are combined with the one saved sect: 6x12+1=73. This study examines how the Eastern Ḥanafite (-Māturīdite) Heresiographical (Firaq) Tradition, with its distinctive characteristics, perceived Ibāḍism through the narrative found in its earliest and most comprehensive surviving example: Kitāb al-Radd ʿalā al-bidaʿ wa al-ahwāʾ al-ḍālla by Abū Muṭīʿ Makhūl b. al-Faḍl an-Nasafī’s (d. 318/930). This work has been chosen due to its fundamental role in shaping the later heresiographical works of this tradition. The study not only analyzes Abū Muṭīʿ’s depiction of Ibāḍism; but also compares it with other examples of the same tradition when necessary. Furthermore, the accuracy of the information provided about the Ibāḍīs in the work is scrutinized. Although some of the views attributed to Ibāḍism may lead to misunderstandings due to omissions or inaccuracies, they can be said to largely align with actual Ibāḍī beliefs. However, there is one particular point that seems difficult to reconcile: the statement attributed to the famous ṭābiʿī scholar Qatāda, describing the Ibāḍiyya as "Magians of this ummah." In the Islamic intellectual tradition, the school that has been compared to or associated with Magianism, based on a reference to a ḥadīth narration, is in fact the Qadarīyya and its later extension, the Muʿtazila. The similarity sought to be established between these sects and the Magians is based on the dualistic belief in God held by the Magians -one god being the source of all good and the other being the source of all evil- while the Qadarīyya and Muʿtazila, regarding human actions, see God as the creator of good and humans as the bringers of evil into existence. However, there is no possibility of establishing such a similarity between the Ibāḍiyya and Magianism through the belief in God or human actions. This is because the Ibāḍīs reject the idea that humans create their own actions and attribute both good and evil to God. What is the source of this attempted connection between the Ibāḍiyya and the Magians, which we only encounter in the Eastern Ḥanafite (-Māturīdite) Firaq Tradition? The findings of our research within the scope of this study indicate that this connection is likely based on an misreading or scribal due to the similarity in the written forms of the words Ibāḍiyya and Ibāḥiyya in the works of this tradition. A distinct characteristic of the Eastern Ḥanafite Firaq Tradition, the views of each sect are refuted, and the responses of the saved sect along with the correct view on the relevant issue are presented. At this point, Abū Muṭīʿ first presents the views of the Ibāḍiyya and then proceeds to criticize them. In conclusion, from the perspective of the Eastern Ḥanafite (-Māturīdite) Firaq Tradition, Ibāḍism is considered one of the twelve heretical subgroups of Ḥarūriyya/Nāṣibiyya (i.e., the Khārijites), which is one of the six main deviant sects among the 72 misguided ones. Based on the views attributed to it, especially the baseless analogy established with the Magians, it is understood that the authors of the tradition did not have direct knowledge of the Ibāḍīs or contact with them. Ultimately, within this tradition, sects like Ibāḍism are not seen as ideological formations to be understood, but rather as ones to be rejected.

Not a Happy History — Italy & Libya - Wright, John (The Maghreb Review, 2022)
Italy “ruled” Libya for 32 years (1911–43), and both still largely resent the experience. Italy, “the least of the Great Powers”, lacked the necessary capacity and experience to conquer and rule foreign colonies, particularly one as poor and unpromising as Turkish North Africa — the “Crate of Sand”. And Libyans, far from welcoming Italians as “liberators from Turkish oppression” defended their own for years of violent “anti-colonial struggle”, and particularly against Italian fascist ideology. Episodes and personalities from that conflict have since been appropriated by successive Libyan regimes to enhance their own historical legitimacy and contemporary credibility, while some modern Italian historians have also manipulated Italo-Libyan historical memories. Italy’s passive acceptance of the resultant historical “guilt” seems partly intended to ensure continuing access to Libyan resources, as well as better management of the flow of African migrants across the central Mediterranean.

Trabelsiyya. Une minorite coloniale: Les ‘sujets italiens de Libye’ en Tunisie (1911–1940) - Cresti, Federico (The Maghreb Review, 2021)
, RÉSUMÉ:, Dans les années qui suivirent le début de la conquête italienne de la Tripolitaine le refus de se soumettre, ainsi que l’instabilité due aux opérations militaires et à la répression de la résistance, engendrèrent le déplacement de plusieurs groupes de la population vers la Tunisie. Entre les deux guerres mondiales le phénomène se poursuivit, quitte à inverser sa direction lorsque le gouvernement italien adopta une politique favorable au retour des expatriés., Cet essai vise à reconstruire, sur la base des documents des archives, les différentes phases du mouvement des trabelsiyya (du nom qu’on leur attribuait traditionnellement en Tunisie), ainsi que les problèmes posés aux gouvernements français et italien par le changement du statut juridique des ‘sujets italiens de Libye’ en raison de la nouvelle situation coloniale. Le différend diplomatique qui s’ensuivit aggrava le litige italo-français, basé sur la revendication italienne à un “droit à la Tunisie” justifié par la présence d’une communauté particulièrement nombreuse dans le territoire du Protectorat.

Conquering Libya (1911–1932): A Crusade? - Cresti, Federico (The Maghreb Review, 2022)
When the Italian government decided to conquer Libya, the military expeditionary force was instructed to avoid any action that could be interpreted as an affront to the religion of the population. However, in the course of military operations, several Muslim religious buildings were damaged or destroyed and Ottoman propaganda presented the aggression as a Christian attack on Islam. The resistance against the occupation soon took on the characteristics of holy war, its main leaders raising the banner of the jihād.

The Question of Nationalism and Education in Libya under Italian Rule - Appleton, Leonard (Libyan Studies, 1979)
Over thirty years of Italian rule in Libya (1911–1942), while leaving a considerable infrastructure of roads, schools and other public buildings, provided only a poor legacy in terms of skilled and educated Libyan manpower. This is attested by the fact that in 1951, there were only five graduates of Italian universities and perhaps ten from the Islamic University of Al-Azhar in Cairo. Moreover, there were no Arab directors of elementary schools or persons qualified for the non-Islamic professions or trained as agricultural experts. On the other hand, apologists of Italian rule emphasise that by 1942 Italy had made an important contribution towards solving some of Libya's most chronic problems. Although official statistics must be treated with caution, it is likely that by 1939 around 9676 pupils were enrolled in the halo-Arab schools, even if only 50% attended regularly. A further 147 students were said to be attending the School of Islamic Studies or al-Madrasah al-Islamiyya al-ùlyá at Tripoli which trained Islamic lawyers, school teachers and minor officials. 22 Moslem girls were also receiving training as nurses at the school of Princess Maria Pia originally set up in January 1936. The object of this paper, however, is not to narrate the achievements and defects of Italian rule in Libya, but to ask, what possible problems in the political, as opposed to the economic or other related fields, might have contributed to such a state of imbalance. Was it, for instance, some kind of “apartheid” policy on the part of the colonial regime that prevented Libyans from attending the excellent system of Italian secondary schools and so going on, like their Italian contemporaries, to become skilled artisans, technicians, engineers, doctors or administrators? Or was it because the mass of the Libyan population were so basically opposed to the Italian regime that they regarded attendance at the schools, whether elementary or secondary, as an act of collaboration with the hated oppressor? These are just two of the areas that would have to be explored by the historian before any explanation could be put forward of what can be termed the “central dilemma” of educational development in Libya under Italian rule.

Transformations of Housing in the M'Zab Valley: Contemporary Urban Challenges and Threats to Identity - Islam, Snoussi Mohamed; Dhaher, Najem (Proceedings of the international conference of contemporary affairs in architecture and urbanism-ICCAUA, 2025)
The ksour of the M’Zab Valley, located in southern Algeria, were founded in 1101 by the Mozabites. These fortified villages, in their original configuration, incorporate exemplary architectural and urban planning elements, promoting sustainable habitation that is perfectly adapted to the Saharan context while reflecting local cultural identity. In recognition of their outstanding universal value, UNESCO introduced specific preservation and protection measures as early as 1982. Architect André Ravéreau described this valley as a true “lesson in urban planning”, highlighting a remarkable balance between functionality, sustainability, and respect for the Saharan ecosystem. However, the recent urbanisation transformations in the M’Zab Valley, which are the subject of my doctoral thesis, reveal significant changes. New development projects, located outside the walls surrounding the ksour, are multiplying to meet a growing demand for housing. Although necessary, these interventions create a rupture with the urban landscape and the Saharan architectural identity. A chronological analysis of architectural samples makes it possible to trace the elements that have been abandoned, reproduced, or transformed over time, while questioning how these developments reflect Saharan identity and impact the built heritage.

Comparative Study of Intimacy Between Millennial Vernacular Islamic Habitat of M’zab and Standardized Modern Habitat - Krimo, Dahmani (Journal of Islamic Architecture, 2025)
Understanding intimacy within a habitat is crucial to deciphering its human and social dynamics. Human habitation's conceptual and poetic content inspires both the creation and philosophical thinking of societies. Heidegger connected art, space, and architecture of human habitation by responding to the aspirations of their inhabitants. In this sense, private life constitutes a boundary between private and public family life. In Islamic architecture, this sustainable concept is intergenerational, translating sensory experiences into spatial design. We aim to quantify this concept by comparing Islamic and modern architecture. By integrating ophthalmology calculations, those of J. Panero and M. Zelnik, and the interpersonal communication thresholds of Hall and Moore, we calculated the dynamics of spatial and superficial intimacy based on gender. Differences have been observed between Mozabite Islamic architecture in Algeria, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and modern architecture. According to Shannon and Weaver, the information is coded messages and measurable quantities. The internalization or exteriorization of intimacy is essential to understand its vernacular or modern typology. The resonance of gender frequencies undoubtedly forms the basis of a relatively effective strategy for protecting privacy within human habitats. This approach facilitated the development of a sensory imprint for the opulent vernacular Islamic habitat of M'Zab.

Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Southern Tunisian Populations - Capocasa, Marco; Battaggia, Cinzia; Cancellieri, Emanuele; Lisi, Alessandro; Polimanti, Mattia; Boukhchim, Nouri; Bisol, Giovanni Destro; Lernia, Savino di; Anagnostou, Paolo (Human Biology, 2022)
Due to its complex history of migrations and colonization of African, European, and Asian people, the Tunisian territory is an ideal area to study the effects of cultural change on the genetic structure of human populations. This study investigated genetic variation in the mitochondrial DNA of Tunisian populations to detect the possible impact of recent historical events on their gene pool. Two Arab and three Berber communities were analyzed using a comparison data set of 45 other populations comprising African, Arabian, Asian, European, and Near Eastern groups. Results were compared with those produced using a large panel of autosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We observed a slight but important difference between the populations that inhabit the southern and central-northern areas of Tunisia. Furthermore, robust signatures of genetic isolation were detected in two Berber populations (Nouvelle Zraoua and Tamezret) and in the R’Baya people, a seminomadic Arab group. This investigation suggests that the genetic structure of investigated southern Tunisian populations retains signatures of historical events that occurred between the 7th and 17th centuries, particularly the trans-Saharan slave trade and the emigration of Berbers in remote areas of the south during the Arab conquest.

Le village de Zraoua, dans le sud de la Tunisie, fait partie des bourgades du Jebel Dahar dont les populations furent soumises à un processus de déplacement programmé, à partir de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. Ce village abandonné constitue un intéressant cas d’étude intégrée de l’architecture vernaculaire et du paysage culturel des régions de montagne de la Méditerranée. La dimension biophysique et la structure sociale se révèlent essentielles à l’interprétation de la diversité et de la spécificité de la maison-patio de la région (maison intra-muros, maison semi-troglodytique, maison sur la crête et maison sur le coteau), à la reconstitution des différentes étapes de l’évolution urbaine et à la compréhension d’un modèle de construction du paysage particulièrement ajusté aux rares ressources du territoire (terrasses en talweg, surfaces drainantes sur les coteaux et citernes).

Lateral and “Vertico-Lateral” Cave Dwellings in Haddej and Guermessa: Characteristic Geocultural Heritage of Southeast Tunisia - Boukhchim, Nouri; Ben Fraj, Tarek; Reynard, Emmanuel (Geoheritage, 2018)
Southeast Tunisia is known for different types of cave dwellings developed for centuries on the Matmata-Dahar plateau. Their formation takes into account the geological and geomorphological context of the sites. They thus provide an interesting example of geoheritage on which was developed an important cultural and architectural heritage. An interdisciplinary research—crossing geomorphological and historical/architectonical approaches—was carried out in two sites: Haddej and Guermessa. The Haddej site belongs to the Matmata area located in the northern part of the plateau. It is characterised by cave dwellings dug vertically and then laterally in the Quaternary aeolian silty deposits filling the valleys that dissect the plateau surface, which corresponds to the backslope of a cuesta. This geomorphological context gives a “vertico-lateral” cave dwellings in “Flower architecture”. The Guermessa site belongs to the Tataouine region, located in the southern part of the plateau. Cave dwellings were dug laterally in alternations of limestone, clay, marl and dolomite strata that appear on witness buttes and outliers slopes. The result is lateral cave dwellings in “Foot architecture”. Both sites offer favourable conditions for geomorphological study. They exhibit a wide range of structural landforms within the monocline structure and their surroundings present a variety of forms and Quaternary formations. These geomorphosites were assessed using the method developed by the University of Lausanne, which allowed us to assign them a strong scientific, aesthetic, cultural, educational and tourist value. Proposals for their tourist promotion were then made taking into account the lack of maintenance that reduces their cultural and tourist value.

Les prospections effectuées dans la vallée de l’oued Sarrat dans le Nord-Ouest de la Tunisie, permettent d’enrichir davantage nos connaissances sur le peuplement dans cette région. Longtemps connue par l’importance de la présence romaine, cette vallée est caractérisée aussi par la concentration des monuments funéraires protohistoriques. La découverte d’une importante Rammadiya remontant au capsien et le lancement d’un projet archéologique multidisciplinaire visant le sauvetage du site à la suite de la montée des eaux du barrage de l’oued Sarrat, nous a permis d’y contribuer par le présent travail. Cette recherche n’est qu’une première approche sur un mode d’occupation du sol à savoir un village berbère. Ce village s’ajoute à toutes les traces archéologiques des autres périodes historiques pour nous donner une vision du peuplement continue dans cette vallée sur la longue histoire : Rammadiya, Tumulus, site archéologique remontant à l’époque romaine (Mahjouba l’antique Tituli), village « berbère », nécropoles collectives remontant à différentes périodes, aménagements agricoles et finalement un barrage récent.

Characterization and distribution of microplastics on the beaches of Southern Tunisia: a case study of the Island of Djerba - Guesmi, Mohamed; Ouri, Abir; Jlalia, Ibtissem; Cherni, Makrem; Ben Ammar, Hajer; Chatti, Saber; Grassl, Bruno; Souissi, Radhia; Abderrazak, Houyem (Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration, 2025)
Microplastics (MPs), resulting from the degradation of plastic waste, were investigated on eight beaches on the Island of Djerba, located in the Gulf of Gabes in Tunisia. The study included 96 sediment samples collected in the summer of 2021 from four beach zones (dune, upper beach, coastline, and lower tidal line). The MPs were obtained using the NaCl density separation method and quantified through microscopic observation. MPs were classified based on shape, size, and dominant color. In addition, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance mode (FTIR-ATR) was used to identify the polymer composition of representative MPs. The results revealed microplastic concentrations ranging from 23 particles/kg at Gallela Beach to 126.67 particles/kg at Yati 2 Beach, with the highest accumulation found in the dune zone (65%) compared to the other zones. The samples were dominated by fragmented and fibrous MPs, with blue, red, and black being the most abundant colors. Polymer analysis revealed that polyethylene (PE) was the most abundant polymer, followed by polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS). This study highlights significant spatial variability in the distribution of the microplastic on Djerba beaches, influenced by tourism, fishing, and urban runoff. These findings underline the urgent need for sustainable waste management to reduce microplastic pollution of the Island of Djerba and in Zarzis.

Identification of Secondary Metabolites from Origanum majorana L. (Lamiaceae) Essential Oil Cultivated in Island of Djerba; Antibiofilm, Anticoagulant and Phytotoxic Properties - Bouomrine, Sonia; Melliti, Marwa; Harzallah-Skhiri, Fethia; Jannet, Hichem Ben; Faisal, Mohammad; Alatar, Abdulrahman A.; Flamini, Guido; Edziri, Hayet (Chemistry Africa, 2025)
Origanum majorana L. is an aromatic plant from the Lamiaceae family, considered as one of the popular plants in Tunisia since it was known to have many biological potentials and frequently grown in gardens as a condiment plant. The aim of this work is to explore the chemical composition, the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, anticoagulant and insecticidal activities of the flowering aerial parts extracts and the essential oil (EO) of this plant. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC/MS. Polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins were quantified from three organic extracts. The antimicrobial activities were assessed against 8 bacteria; 4 Gram negative and 4 Gram positive ones; and 4 fungal strains. The biofilm inhibition was determined in vitro by the micro dilution method against 3 bacteria. Prothrombin time (PT) and kaolin clotting time (KCT) tests were employed to investigate the anticoagulation potential for the first time. The repellent activities of the organic extracts and the fumigant activity of the EO were studied. The flowering aerial parts EO is rich in oxygenated monoterpenes (54.38%) especially in terpinen-4-ol. For the antimicrobial activities, the tested oil displayed moderate antibacterial and antifungal activity (MIC = 1.5 mg/mL), and showed a good antibiofilm activity against the tested bacteria with inhibition values greater than 51 ± 1.04% at MIC dose. Furthermore, it has anticoagulant activities with a prothrombin time of 37.3 ± 0.36 s and KCT of 48.1 ± 0.26 s at a concentration of 15 mg/mL, as well as fumigants activities against Tribolium castaneum. Polyphenols and tannins contents were found to be the highest in ethyl acetate and ethanolic extracts. The two extracts showed interesting antibacterial and antifungal activity with values of MIC ranging from 1.25 to 10 mg/mL, and from 2.5 to 20 mg/mL, respectively. Also, they present a strong antibiofilm activity at different MICs. Ethyl acetate extract has an interesting anticoagulant activity at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL with 52.18 ± 0.49 s for KCT. Ethanolic extract is a promising anticoagulant agent (16.9 ± 0.02 s for PT and 45.72 ± 0.24 s for KCT at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL). Only Petroleum ether extract has repellent activities (62.5 ± 8.5%) against an insect pest tested. The aerial parts of Origanum majorana could be considered as new source of anticoagulant, antibiofilm, antibacterial, antifungal and insecticide molecules for pharmaceuticals and pest purposes. However, further research must be undertaken to identify the active molecules responsible for these biological activities.

الجانب السياسي وأثره في نشأة الخوارج وفرقها - عبد الرحمن, فتحي محمود محمد (مجلة کلية الدراسات الإسلامية والعربية للبنات بسوهاج, 2025)
الملخص: فرقة الخوارج من الفرق التي ظهرت منذ زمن بعيد ولا تزال افكارها موجود في زمننا هذا فالخوارج من أشد الفرق الإسلامية تمسكاً بمذهبها الذي تعتقده وتدعو إليه، وتحاول تطبيقه بالقوة، مستخدمة القتل والفتك بالأنفس المحرمة إذا اقتضى الحال؛ فهي فرقة كبيرة من الفرق الاعتقادية، وتمثل حركة ثورية عنيفة في تاريخ الإسلام السياسي، وقد شغلت الدولة الإسلامية فترة طويلة من الزمن؛ حيث بسطوا نفوذهم السياسي على بقاع واسعة من الدولة الإسلامية في المشرق وفي المغرب العربي، ولا يخفى أن بعض أفكار الخوارج المتعلقة بتكفير العصاة لا يزال لها أتباع يمثلون تنطع الخوارج وتشددهم في وقتنا الحاضر؛ مما يستدعي عرض ودراسة هذه الفرقة، وما أنتجت من آراء وأفكار، وبيان ما جناه أتباعها على الإسلام والمسلمين، كما أن من أسباب اختياري لهذا الموضوع هو معرفة الطبيعة السياسية والعسكرية لهذه الحركة المعارضة والتعرف على الدور السياسي الذي لعبته الحركة الخارجية خلال هذه المرحلة من التاريخ الإسلامي؛ ولهذا كان اختياري لهذا البحث الجانب السياسي وأثره في نشأة الخوارج وفرقها، وقد استخدمت في هذا البحث المنهج التحليلي القائم على تحليل محتويات النصوص واستخراج المعنى منها، وإبرازه في صـورة مبسطة، وصياغتها بصيغة موضوعية، وقد اشتمل البحث على مقدمة، وتمهيد، وثلاثة مباحث، ثم خاتمة، وفهرس للمصادر والمراجع. Abstract: The Kharijites, one of the earliest Islamic sects, continue to hold relevance in contemporary times. They are characterized by their unwavering adherence to their beliefs, their willingness to enforce them through violence, and their designation of those who deviate from their doctrine as apostates. As a significant ideological group and a revolutionary movement in Islamic political history, the Kharijites held sway over the Islamic state for an extended period. Their political influence extended across vast regions of the Islamic empire, both in the East and the Maghreb. It is undeniable that some of their ideas regarding the excommunication of sinners still resonate with modern-day extremists, embodying the Kharijites' extremism and rigidity. This necessitates a thorough examination of this sect, its doctrines, and the detrimental consequences of its actions for Islam and Muslims. My motivation for delving into this topic stems from a desire to understand the political and military nature of this oppositional movement and its role in shaping Islamic history during this crucial era. Consequently, I have chosen to focus on the political aspects and their impact on the emergence of the Kharijites and their various sects. The research methodology employed in this study is analytical, involving the analysis of textual content to extract and present its essence clearly and concisely, adhering to an objective tone. The study is structured as follows: an introduction, a preface, three chapters, a conclusion, and an index.

Un projet d’alliance entre Kilwa et la France contre l’expansionnisme omanais, étude d’une lettre en arabe de mfalme Sulaymān b. Ḥasan à Louis XVIII - Belhacel, Abdelhakim; Qaisi, Fu’ad al- (Afriques. Débats, méthodes et terrains d’histoire, 2025)
La série « Réunion » des Archives nationales d’outre-mer conserve plusieurs lettres en arabe issues des correspondances entre les Français et les souverains musulmans d’Afrique de l’Est. L’une d’elles, écrite en 1819, est traduite en français et éditée pour la première fois. Son étude apporte un éclairage crucial sur la nature des relations entre Swahili, Omanais et Français au début du xixe siècle. Elle fait apparaître l’importance des réseaux négriers pour la diplomatie française et leur persistance après l’abolition officielle de la traite. Elle permet également de comprendre comment le sultanat de Kilwa tente de se défaire de la mainmise omanaise. De plus, elle montre l’importance de l’emploi de la langue arabe pour les correspondances diplomatiques dans l’océan Indien. La lettre de mfalme Sulaymān b. Ḥasan à Louis XVIII vise en effet à sceller une alliance entre la France et le sultanat de Kilwa contre les Omanais installés à Zanzibar, grâce aux bons offices d’un arabisant et d’un négrier. L’étude de ce document comprend une reproduction et une analyse de la lettre et de son enveloppe, une retranscription, une traduction et une analyse permettant de comprendre le contexte (acteurs, situation politique) et de dégager ses apports quant à la connaissance des stratégies de résistance des souverains swahili face à l’expansionnisme omanais en Afrique de l’Est.

En quête d'autonomie: Un couple de rachetés dans la mission catholique de Bagamoyo, Tanzanie (1890-1920) - Nivière, Adèle (Revue d'histoire contemporaine de l'Afrique, 2025)
Bagamoyo, ville de la côte swahilie en Tanzanie actuelle, a été un point névralgique de la traite des esclaves en Afrique de l’Est du xixe siècle au début du xxe siècle. Dans ce contexte, les missionnaires catholiques ont racheté de nombreux esclaves pour les convertir. Une fois mariés, ces anciens esclaves étaient installés dans des villages chrétiens. Cet article retrace la trajectoire d’un de ces couples, à l’échelle individuelle, à travers l’éclairage des registres paroissiaux. Ces archives se révèlent utiles pour retracer les parcours d’émancipation, en particulier du point de vue de la famille, domaine central de la politique missionnaire. Le jeune couple navigue dès lors, en fonction d’opportunités genrées, entre l’insertion dans une communauté affective et religieuse chrétienne, et les réseaux économiques d’appartenance alternatifs offerts dans les villes de la côte swahilie, en dehors du cadre de la mission.

The Status of the Musnad of Rabi‘ bin Ḥabīb as an Authoritative Ḥadīth Source in Ibāḍī Scholarship - Arifah, Afro’ Anzali Nurizzati; Muhid; Muthoharoh, Isnaini Lu’lu’ Atim; Khaira, Zsazsa Tuhfa (Journal of Hadith Studies, 2025)
The Musnad Rabi' bin Habib book contains the hadiths of the Prophet SAW which were narrated by Imam Rabi' bin Habib as the third Ibadi imam from the khawarij group of the al-Ibadiyah sect. The existence of this book has become the center of attention for several scholars regarding the period of codification and the quality of the hadith in it. Apart from that, this book was also declared an authentic hadith book by al-Ibadiyah himself because the hadiths in it were in accordance with the ideology they adhered to. This research aims to look further at how this hadith book can be declared as an authentic hadith book for al-Ibadiyah as well as some criticisms from hadith scholars. The research method used in this research is qualitative with a library research type of research and uses a socio-historical approach. This socio-historical approach is used to see the history of this hadith book so that it can be called an authentic hadith book for al-Ibadiyah himself. The results of this research provide evidence of the extent to which the book Musnad Rabi' bin Habib is an authentic hadith book of Khawarij al-Ibadiyah which has become a reference and has received a lot of criticism from several hadith scholars.

Time of magan (2022-23): The ras al jinz project, excavation & survey - Azzarà, Valentina M.; De Rorre, Alexandre P. (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The project is focused on exploring the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (EBA) occupations of Ras Al Jinz RJ-3. This site remained un touched until recent excavation efforts by Time of Magan, revealing that during the Umm an-Nar period, RJ-3 likely constituted a part of a larger settlement in conjunction with RJ-2, situated across the bay. Findings from five seasons of excavation suggest not only the existence of craft-centred zones during this era, but also evidence of earlier settlements associated with daily life. The project’s goal is to gather new information from these settlements, thereby highlighting the way of life of southeastern Arabian communities. The study of village life, social interactions, activity organisation, and economic diversification at the community level, will provide new insights into the factors that led to the EBA complexification, and will help determining the influence of local and foreign contributions. Fur thermore, the excavation of RJ-3 concludes a comprehensive series of investigations into the EBA occupations of the bay, illuminating a pivotal complex where both settlement evidence and funerary remains have been meticulously examined. New explorations in the bay will also contribute to the museumification of Ras Al Jinz and support its nomination for inclusion in the UNESCO Heritage List.

Omani-polish archaeological mission 2022: Excavations at QA20 and QB2 in the qumayrah micro-region - Bieliński, Piotr; Pieńkowska, Agnieszka; Szymczak, Agnieszka; Iskra, Mateusz (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
During the 6th season of investigations, the Omani-Polish expedition researched previously unexcavated sites in the micro-region of Qumayrah in the Al Hajar Mountains: QA 20, located near Ayn Bani Saydah, and QB 2, near the village of Bilt. The exploration at QB 2 uncovered a substantial Umm an-Nar settlement, offering insight into its layout and architecture, despite the challenges of removing layers of stone rubble. Additionally, the preliminary documentation of a round stone structure, likely of Umm an-Nar origin, was undertaken at QB 6. QA 20, an Iron Age II hilltop site, revealed an unexpectedly advanced organisation of space, resembling urban planning more than a rural settlement, challenging previous assumptions.

Project VirtuHalban (2023): Italian anthropological mission for the heritage of arabia - Bortolini, Eugenio; Benazzi, Stefano (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Project VirtuHalban investigates an Early Bronze Age funerary site at Halban, on an elevated coastal terrace where the Al Batinah coastal plain meets the Hajar Al Gharbi mountain ridge. These well-preserved monumental tombs, some reaching heights of over four metres, are significant markers of their era. Research suggests that the Halban tombs may span two distinct periods: the Hafit period (c. 3100-2600 BCE) and the Umm an-Nar period (c. 2600-2100 BCE), indicating a transition in tomb design during the Bronze Age. The project also investigates building techniques and materials employed in tomb construction, potentially having cultural or chronological significance. Excavation of tomb HAL021 during the 2023 season yielded valuable insights into its contents, including small beads and human remains, providing potential clues about the people buried in the tomb and their cultural practices. To enhance documentation, the researchers used 3D/virtual recording techniques, allowing for precise spatial mapping and the creation of 3D models and panoramas.

Tectonostratigraphy of the Ediacaran Fara Formation of the Central Oman Mountains (Jabal Akhdar, Sultanate of Oman): implications for the Late Neoproterozoic evolution of the Eastern Arabian Plate - Callegari, Ivan; Scharf, Andreas; Pinto, Andre F.; Mattern, Frank; Mazumder, Rajat; Datta, Debasmita; Rarivoarison, Heninjara (Precambrian Research, 2025)
In the western Jabal Akhdar Dome of northeastern Oman and within the Neoproterozoic Huqf Supergroup, well-exposed sedimentary formations span the Cryogenian to Ediacaran periods. These rocks bear the marks of the distant Cadomian Orogeny. Among these formations, the youngest corresponds to the diverse Ediacaran Fara Formation, partly time-equivalent to the Ara Group in the subsurface of Oman. Our study extensively examined the Fara Formation’s lithologies, stratigraphy, and syndepositional deformation features to shed light on the Late Ediacaran geological evolution of eastern Arabia. Through meticulous analysis, several key findings and confirmations of previous research emerged from our investigation: (1) the Fara Formation can be categorized into three distinct members (in ascending vertical succession FA1, FA2 and FA3); (2) while FA1 and FA2 members display signs of Cadomian D1 deformation, FA3 Member does not show any evidence of D1 deformation; (3) the first description of the fossil Palaeopascichnus assigns an Ediacaran age to the entire Fara Formation; (4) the volcaniclastic rocks within the Fara Formation are geochemically similar to Hormuz’s volcanics from the same period; and (5) carbonates and siliciclastic rocks of FA1 and FA2 formed within a probably NW/SE-striking back-arc basin associated with Cadomian subduction, while FA3′s siliciclastic rocks unconformably overlie the latter members.

Archaeological mission at bat/al arid (MBA mission): 2023 season (4th season) wilāyā of ibri (dhahirah governorate) - Castel, Corinne (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The project aims at enriching the debate on the nature of the settlement sites, the emergence of socio-economic complexity and the human-environment relationships in the Southern foothills region of Oman in the Early Bronze age. It is based on an extensive survey, a geoarchaeological and hydrological study in the region comprised between Al Arid and Bat (UNESCO site), and excavations at the recently discovered site of Al Arid (15 km NW of Bat). The approach is holistic and interdisciplinary and relies on specialists from the CNRS and universities, post-doctoral researchers and students. The team is composed of archaeologists, geoarchaeologists, hydrologists, biological anthropologists, geophysicist, archaeobotanist, specialists of pottery (formal typologies, physico-chemical and petrographic analyses of pastes), Geographic Information Systems and photogrammetry. After four seasons of work, we know that Al Arid was inhabited during two main phases: in the Early Bronze age and the Late Islamic period. In the Bronze age, the site appears as a regionally important centre. The discoveries are varied and sometimes exceptional: 7 towers concentrated on 25 ha, a material, local and exogen, including a superb copper alloy axe; from the beginning of the Bronze Age it seems: a copper metallurgical workshop, a canal for diverting the course of the wadi and 99 Hafit-type tombs among them two have been excavated ; dated to the Umm an-Nar period: a settlement sector (including a house that has been completely excavated), 9 tombs. These discoveries allow us to consider that communities lived there, on a recurrent, if not permanent basis, very early in history, relying on irrigation, a mastery of copper technology and exchanges with the coastal region and Mesopotamia. The mission is also heavily involved in the protection and enhancement of the region’s heritage, working alongside the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism on the Visitor Centre project of Bat.

Bologna University has a long tradition of research activities in the Sultanate of Oman, with investigation in the coastal area of Sharqiyah and more recently in the project of Al Khutm tower in the area of Bat (Al Dhahirah Governorate). The fieldwork of the campaign 2022-2023 was carried out at Al Khutm investigating the outer area of the tower characterized by a monumental stone wall. The archaeological complex appears now more valuable with a unique outline of defensive and entangled structures. Several finds, including pottery, softstone and metal, are defining the starting of the construction at the end of 3rd mill. BCE. At Ras Al Hadd the Italian team is currently involved in the excavation of the early 3rd mill. BCE cemetery around the settlement of HD-6. Several clusters of cairns as part of two main cemeteries named HD-7 and HD-10 were identified in previous research. Among dozens of burial structures, the current investigation concerned the group 12 of HD-7 cemetery and three cairns were excavated. The preliminary results show the regional character of cairns with specific size, architectural features and ritual customs.

French mission “arabian seashores”: The desert project “exploring the omani rub’ al khali” (december 2022) - Charpentier, Vincent; Maiorano, Maria Pia (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The French mission “Arabian Seashores” has been exploring the Omani coast of the Arabian Sea since 2010. The team has prospected, surveyed various sites, and conducted excavations at Khuwaymah, Masirah Island, Hallaniyat Archipelago, Sharbithat, Hasik as well as other sites along the coast. Additionally, they have explored the Jebel Qara and several rock art sites. The mission’s research focuses on the chronology of the Final Paleolithic to the Early Bronze Age, spanning the period between 10,000 and 2000 BCE. Specifically, their attention is on the transition from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic era, marking the shift from predatory societies to the first productive communities. The mission has made significant discoveries, including the Final Paleolithic cave of Natif and the Neolithic sites of Ad-Dahariz (Salalah), Hasik, and Sharbithat. Simultaneously, a project in the Rub’ Al Khali desert was carried out in collaboration with a team of geologists and paleontologists. During the latest mission in December 2022, particular emphasis was placed on research in this area, confirming the extraordinary potential of these sites. The campaign played a critical role in enhancing our understanding of cultural transfer, settling patterns, and technological innovation in Southern Arabia during the Neolithic period. Overall, the project has expanded our current knowledge of Neolithic cultures in desert locations by conducting an integrated study of the paleoenvironment and a techno-quantitative examination of the lithic industries. This work lays the foundation for future research in this field.

Archaeological expedition to al khashbah (2023): Rock art survey - Döpper, Stephanie (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
In 2023, a new project on rock art in Eastern Arabia, with special focus on the Al Sharqiyah North Governorate started. It aims at recording the spatial and chronological distribution of rock art as well as its integration into the natural and anthropogenic landscape. In the first field season from February to April 2023, over 4,000 rock art images have been recorded at the sites of Al Tasawir, Lizq, Al Khashbah and Al Rakhi. This encompassed digital sketches of the rock art panels, photography of the individual rock art images, taking of UTM coordinates, and vectorising the photographs on a computer later on. In addition, 3D models of all recorded sites were generated by structure-from-motion (SfM). As a citizen science component of the project, a smartphone application (Rock Art Oman) was developed that allows everyone to support the project by documenting rock art in an easy manner. This does not only provide more data for research but also help to foster the awareness of people in Oman for their rock art heritage.

Archaeological landscape and environmental dynamics of duqm and nejd (ARDUQ): Season 2 (2022-2023) - Garba, Roman; Danielisová, Alžběta F.; Rose, Jeffrey I. (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
In March 2023, an international team of archaeologists, anthropologists and geologists led by the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague successfully completed the second season of the ARDUQ (Archaeological landscape and environmental dynamics of Duqm and Nejd) expedition. Researchers from ten countries took part in fieldwork in two regions of the Sultanate. The first team, based in Duqm (south-central Oman), carried out fieldwork at Nafūn, excavating a Neolithic collective burial and documenting extensive rock art sites, both unique in south-east Arabia. Small test trenches for lithic studies were also carried out. ARDUQ’s investigations reveal a rich archaeological landscape at Duqm with long-term occupation. The second team worked in Dhofar (southern Oman). The team discovered seven Lower Palaeolithic sites in the Rub’ Al Khālī desert, with a high concentration of handaxes. Test trenches on the Nejd plateau revealed stratified Middle Palaeolithic artefacts of Nubian Complex, and samples were taken for optical stimulated luminescence dating. A systematic study of the flint raw material was also initiated. Research at Dhofar will shed new light on the early hominin and anatomically modern human dispersal Out of Africa, a topic of global importance and interest.

A diamond in the raw in oman (season 2022): Al ṣalaylī archaeological project - Gaudiello, Michela (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
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.

The stratigraphic investigations on tomb LCG-2 led to the identification of the phase of use of the tomb floor, which, on the basis of radiocarbon dating and archaeological material, seems to refer to a final phase of Iron Age III. The research of our last exploratory season focused on the continuation of the investigation of this homogeneous phase identified at the base of the corridor. The base is characterized by a clay path running through the centre of the corridor, bordered by elongated pits containing burials and objects and informing us of how the bottom of the structure was used. This contribution focuses on the description of the last burials exposed at the bottom.

The Italian archaeological mission of L’Orientale in the Dhofar region was established several years ago and has carried out some short surveys and two excavation campaigns (December 2021-January 2022 and December 2022-January 2023). The main objective of the mission is to continue research at the archaeological site of Al Baleed (ancient Ẓafār) –located in the Salalah area, which has been the subject of numerous archaeological investigation since the middle of the last century. The site covers more than 1.5 km × 800 m, but a large part still remains unexplored, and questions concerning its foundation, stratigraphic sequences and the materials that have been brought to light still require in-depth investigation. In order to gain a deeper knowledge of the occupation of the area in the medieval Islamic period, it is considered equally necessary to undertake research and study of the numerous burial spaces in the Salalah area. Within this context, the mission began a survey aimed at documenting the large cemeteries located in the western part of the site of Al Baleed (outside the boundary wall) and at Al Robat, two areas which, on preliminary investigation, appear to preserve the oldest funerary evidence.

Sultan qaboos university project in oman (2022): Discovery of an early bronze age settlement in al ghoryeen, mudhaybi, sultanate of oman - Jahwari, Nasser Said al-; Douglas, Khaled; Hesein, Mohamad (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The Department of Archaeology at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), in collaboration with the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism (MHT), has conducted the 3rd season (December 2022) of intensive excavations at the site of Al Ghoryeen in Wadi Andam region on the southern fringes of the eastern Hajar Mountains in the Northern Al Sharqiyah Governorate of Oman. It was excavated under the direction of Professor Nasser S. Al-Jahwari and Dr Khaled Douglas. Participants included colleagues and MA students from the Department of Archaeology at SQU (Dr Mohamad Hesein, Dr Nasser Al-Hinaei, Yaqoob Al-Rahbi, Yaqoob Al-Bahri, Al-Reem Al-Alawi, Suad Al-Harasi, Wajd Al-Zakwani, Buthainah Al-Ghofaili and Huda Al-Daihani) and the German Archaeological Instiute in Berlin (represented by Dr Kristina Pfeifer). The results of the excavation discovered the first and largest settlement in Oman dating back to the Early Bronze Age of Hafit period (ca. 3400-2700 BC).

French archaeological mission to central oman (2023): Explorations in bisya - Jean, Mathilde; Sauvage, Martin (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The French Archaeological Mission in Central Oman (FAMCO) studies the diachronic settlement of Bisya, one of the Oman peninsula’s main archaeological zones, in the Hajar mountains foothills. This region, which benefits from a location at the confluence of several wadis and local mineral resources, has been populated since the Paleolithic. It experienced a particularly prosperous development in the Early Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The first aim of the mission is to identify the development of human communities through survey and excavation. The Palaeolithic program investigates the first settlements of the Arabian Peninsula, determining the presence or absence of Neanderthal populations and their relationship to the arrival of modern Homo sapiens between the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic. The central part of the mission focuses on the Early Bronze Age to understand the beginnings of the oasis agrosystem, the domestication of the date palm, the first irrigation systems, the development of monumental domestic and funerary architecture, and the appearance of local crafts (pottery, copper metallurgy). Our research aims to provide new evidence on the role of Oman (Land of Magan in the Mesopotamian texts) within the Middle East during the Bronze Age, particularly its relations with Lower Mesopotamia (Sumerian country), Iran (the region of Fars and Makran) and the Indus Valley.

ISTIDAMA: The long-term cultural sustainability project (2022-23): Surveys and excavations in tanūf, ad-dākhilīyah governorate - Kondo, Yasuhisa (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The Long-Term Cultural Sustainability (ISTIDAMA) Project aims to identify the eco-cultural factors of sustainable lifeways and historical landscapes of the canyons and foothills of the Hajar Mountains. To this end, the project team conducted three field activities: (1) general surveys in the Tanūf district of Ad-Dākhilīyah Governorate, (2) detailed documentation of the cemeteries in the survey area, and (3) excavations at the cave site of Mughārat Al Kahf in Wadi Tanūf. Regarding the general survey, the team documented seven archaeological sites in Wadi Tanūf and six sites in As-Suwaihiriyah in the floodplain of Wadi Al Abyad at 5 km east of Tanūf. Among these, the team documented the cemetery of WTN07, 13, and 14 in detail. These cemeteries were occupied from the Wadi Suq period (ca. 2000 to 1600 BCE) and Early Iron Age (ca. 1300–650 BCE). In the cave site, the team opened a new trench next to the last season’s one to verify stratigraphy. The team also took coprolite, date stone, charcoal, and soil sample for ancient DNA, stable isotope, and radiocarbon dating analyses.

DHOMIAP project (2022-23): New archaeological discoveries in dhofar - Lischi, Silvia (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The archaeological campaign at Khor Rori made a significant contribution to the understanding of the history and culture of the region. It focused on three main objectives: to increase knowledge of the KR-N1 necropolis, to determine the chronology and function of previously discovered structures, and to understand the land use of the Dhofar Coastal Culture and the Ancient South Arabians. To achieve these objectives, exploratory investigations were carried out in three different structures to determine their chronology, cultural affiliation, and possible use. At the same time, the study of the KR-N1 necropolis continued, with particular emphasis on dolmenic cysts and multiple cist tombs. This excavation provided valuable insights into the chronology, depositional features and mortuary practices of the Dhofar Coastal Culture. In addition, we summarise here the preliminary results of the archaeological campaign at Wadi Andhūr, part of the HELFA programme under the DHOMIAP project. The campaign aimed to explore the archaeologically rich area of Wadi Andhūr. Notable discoveries include confirmation of the South Arabian origin of the site DMa0610 and an inscribed stone of South Arabian origin. Further research is needed to answer questions about the site’s chronology, use and links with other settlements.

Ichtyophagoi, their culture and economy: Survey and excavation in wadi bani khalid (WBK1, aqr zaida al athri) and tiwi - Loreto, Romolo (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Project’s activities in the Sultanate of Oman, Ash-Sharqiyah North region, are directed towards the study of the Iron Age in northern Oman, in order to investigate those historical cultures known as fish-eating communities (Ichtyophagoi) from Greco-Roman sources and locally defined as Early to Late Iron Age cultural facies. From 2014 to 2018 the project focused on the study of the seasonal coastal economy of northern Oman in the Iron Age, in particular the phases of the 1st millennium BCE, between Qurayat and Ras Al Hadd, including Bamah and Tiwi as main coastal sites. Since 2018, the joint project has extended the area of research to urban oases further inland, along the Al Hajar mountain range, to define the settlement strategies between the Iron Age and the advent of Islam. These seasonal villages were in fact part of a complex socio-economic network involving the urban and agricultural oases in the interior, located along the Al Hajar mountain range, possessing their own hunting/fishing, farming and livestock economies, acted as bridges for trade between the coasts and the more inland regions, between Oman and the Emirates for at least the entire first half of the 1st millennium BCE and from the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE.

DExPO project (2022-23): Dolphin exploitation in prehistoric oman - Maini, Elena (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Prehistoric communities along the coasts of southeastern Arabia relied heavily on marine resources. However, dolphin remains in the zooarchaeological record remain poorly understood due to fragmentation, taphonomic changes, limited osteological collections, and the lack of a specific methodology for determination. In response to these challenges, the DExPO project aimed to develop a protocol for the analysis of osteological data from odontocetes and cetaceans from Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites in central Oman. Agreements with the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism along and support from the Natural History Museum of Oman facilitated the project. Initial implementation took place in a pilot project (2019-2020) on cetaceans in the NHM collection, and has been extended to analyse archaeological remains from key sites in Ash-Sharqiyah Governorate. Ongoing objectives include developing a methodology for identifying and documenting archaeological dolphin remains and applying these methods to large osteological collections. This is central to the study of dolphin hunting and exploitation strategies, combining zooarchaeological, material culture and environmental data, using ethnographic parallels and experimental approaches. Through the DExPO project, the enigmatic relationship between prehistoric communities and marine mammals is gradually being unravelled, providing insights into their ancient coexistence along the coasts of the Arabian Sea.

First research activities at the prehistoric mountain site hayl ajah at the inner flank of al jabal al kawr - Mateiciucová, Inna; Wilding, Maximilian (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
As the first undertaking of its kind, Project SIPO has embarked in 2018 on the environmental-archaeological research of a lithic site in Oman in a true mountain ambient – Hayl Ajah (a large sediment-filled depression at 1019 m a.s.l. on an intermontane karst plateau between Al Jabal Al Kawr and Al Jabal Al Ghul; Figs 1 and 2). Because porous karstic limestone – other than more compact rocks – allows the infiltration of precipitation water into the matrix of the rock itself, our project aims to find out, whether during prehistoric periods a degree of water storage inside limestone rock-layers and aeolian surface sediments could have made good for the reduced precipitation in the northern part of Oman compared to the country’s south. Judging from the archaeological finds, the site Hayl Ajah and similar smaller sediment places in the surroundings mountains have been accessed by people during different prehistoric periods (probably since the Middle Palaeolithic, definitely during the Neolithic and Umm an-Nar period). At the present stage we encounter various kinds of small, dispersed water and sediment features in our research area that could have served mobile foragingpastoral groups while roaming the bleak mountain landscape. Indicative of this is the remarkably wide spectrum of mostly non-local raw materials used for the stone artefacts of Hayl Ajah. For some of the lithics encountered at the mountain site, yet no real analogy to lithic traditions in other parts of the Arabian Peninsula can be found. Other stone artefacts, according to first OSL/C14 dates, belong to a time period when aridization was under way (Late Neolithic). From this evidence we infer tentatively that mountainous places in Al Jabal Al Hajar have had significance for prehistoric humans during past dry periods - perhaps as the “roof section” of an environmentally diversified, yet integrated refugium in the Kawr-Akhdar Area encompassing the more open alluvial places at the mountain front (cf. Uerpmann, Uerpmann & Jasim 2000).

La trobe archaeological research in oman: The archaeology of out of africa dispersal events in oman (2019-2022) - Meredith-Williams, Matthew; Fitzpatrick, Dianne (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The debate on the timing and nature of “Out of Africa” dispersals of multiple waves of the genus Homo has been based on a limited number of securely dated sites; the majority of the Palaeolithic archaeological record for Arabia is represented by undated surface sites. This project aims to contribute to the body of knowledge and debate through targeted field survey for stratified Palaeolithic sites that can be well dated. A multidisciplinary team of geologists, geomorphologists, hydrologists, dating experts and archaeologists has been assembled to specifically target this question. Our first three survey seasons in 2019, 2020 and 2022 gave invaluable insights into the landscape setting of Oman which have fed directly into the later seasons. Preliminary results include a number of surface sites with material typologically linked to the Lower, Middle and Upper Palaeolithic of Oman, and a small number of stratified sites have been identified and are currently undergoing analysis.

Archaeological exploration of fulayj near saham in the north batinah governate (2016-23) - Priestman, Seth; Jahwari, Nasser Said al-; MacDonald, Eve; Kennet, Derek (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The Fulayj Fort Project focuses on the unique archaeological remains at the site of Fulayj: a small, regularly planned, heavily defended, stone-built fortification constructed sometime between the early 5th to mid-6th century AD during the late pre-Islamic period and its subsequently reoccupation during the first decades following the Islamic conquest of Oman in the 7th century (Figs. 1-2). The fourth season of excavation took place over a six-week period from the 10th of January to the 20th of February 2023. It involved the work of an international team with a maximum of ten participants, including specialists from the UK, Oman, Canada, Greece and the Republic of Georgia. We were pleased to host one trainee from the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism regional office of the North Batinah Governate (Fig. 3). Excavation focused on the eastern side of the fort near to the fort entranceway (Fig. 4) with work in the north-east corner extending our understanding of a series of mudbrick rooms associated with the secondary occupation of the fort in the early Islamic period. Further excavations were opened in the south-east corner, and on the fort exterior across the south-east corner tower.

Archaeological exploration of suhar port in the north batinah governate (2023) - Priestman, Seth; Jahwari, Nasser Said al-; MacDonald, Eve; Kennet, Derek (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Suhar was one of the leading ports in the Indian Ocean during the Abbasid period. With Basra and Siraf, it formed a centre of maritime power in the Gulf and Arabia. The historian and traveller Istakhri, who wrote the Kitab Al-Masalik wa Al-Mamalik, and who lived in the 10th century, tells us that Suhar was the biggest and richest town in Oman. He tells us that it is not possible to find a city more rich in buildings and foreign wares than Suhar, and that many merchants live there who trade in ships with other countries. It is known that merchants came to Suhar from China, India and many other places. It is certain that Suhar is the most important location in Oman for the history of the first centuries of Islam. Archaeological research has already been carried out in Suhar, in the 1970s and 1980s, but there is still much more to learn about this important place. In January 2023 a British and Omani archaeological team led by Seth Priestman visited the town to investigate the remaining archaeological evidence (Fig. 1). A short sur-vey of the town revealed important information about its history. New locations came to light and important new finds of imported Chinese ceramic were made. The British and Omani team is hoping to continue work at Suhar so that the full potential of this important site can be developed.

Archaeological exploration of seeb (al hail north) in the muscat governate (2022-23) - Priestman, Seth; MacDonald, Eve; Gajewska, Maria (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
"Seeb is the site of an extensive coastal settlement located in the northern suburbs of Muscat. Previous investigations by Romolo Loreto in 2013 indicate the presence of areas of deep stratigraphy, intact occupation deposits and architectural remains covering most phases of the Islamic period. More recently, documentation by the local community has highlighted the exceptional quality of the finds assemblage, with objects drawn from across the Indian Ocean world, often closely comparable to materials from other key urban centres in the region such as Suhar, Samarra or Siraf. The existence of a large urban centre on the southern Batinah remains to be better integrated into our wider historic reconstruction of the medieval topography of Oman. To address this, a three-week field-walking survey, followed by a week of finds processing, was carried out in January-February 2023. It involved mapping and surface collection to augment our understanding of the size, nature, and diachronic development of the medieval settlement. The work was conceived in partnership with the local community, taking the factor of existing interest as the motivating driver in the plan and design of future research. Public workshops, social media and continuing conversations with residents and other stakeholders form important channels in the pursuit of the project."

Sapienza university of rome archaeological mission in the arabian peninsula and the gulf area (MASPAG): Archaeological explorations in wadi al ma’awel 2022-23 - Ramazzotti, Marco (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Sapienza Archaeological Mission in the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf Area (MASPAG) surveys in the Omani southern Batinah, southwest of Muscat, near the Muslimat oasis, has recently revealed a new hitherto unknown multi-millennial archaeological landscape crossed by the Tropic of Cancer. In this vast area, two enormous cemeteries with hundreds of collective tombs have been identified. The oldest graves typologically and morphologically date from the end of the 4th millennium, but both the cemeteries appear to be associated with long-lasting settlements continuously inhabited up to the Islamic period. The two cemeteries next to a settlement that was fortified in the Iron Age offer the possibility of investigating the social complexity of those mobile groups interposed between south-eastern Arabia and the Persian Gulf on a broad spectrum. Powerful coalitions capable of governing large portions of the piedmont territory interposed between the rocky Hajar mountains and the spectacular western coasts of the Arabian Sea, a nomadic and half-nomadic territorial state in the south-eastern frontier of the ancient Near East which Mesopotamian texts identify as the Land of Magan.

The final field season of paleoenvironmental studies for the UmWeltWandel project lasted from 7 January–17 April 2023. It resulted in the collection of further samples of sediment, rock, charcoal, snail, plant, pollen, and water for laboratory analysis in Germany. More than 70 sedimentological sections were investigated in the vicinity of Al Khashbah to study soil and landscape formation processes. Once completed, these studies will provide important insights into climate and vegetation of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Central Oman.

A small, newly discovered Umm an-Nar settlement close to the southern outskirts of the modern city of Ibra was investigated by a team from the University of Frankfurt, Germany between 1 March 2023 and 11 April 2023. The investigation included a detailed surface survey with find collection, as well as small-scale excavations at two of the buildings. The results of the first campaign suggest a well-planned settlement structure with specialized areas for the production or refinement of copper and copper objects. Of particular importance was the discovery of multiple plano-convex copper ingots during the excavations of one of the domestic buildings.

Archaeological expedition to al khashbah (2023): Al khashbah KHS-a - Schmidt, Conrad; Maiorano, Maria Pia; Proctor, Lucas (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Several locations north of the village of Al Khashbah have yielded Neolithic remains, most likely due to the area’s accessible chert outcrops and elevated fluvial terrace systems overlooking wadi floodplains. KHS-A, the main Neolithic site in the area, is distinguished by extensive flint scatters, isolated stone constructions, and fireplaces. In 2022, the team excavated a preliminary test trench (KHS-A.1) that yielded a high number of lithics and charcoal samples. Radiocarbon dating placed the age of the complex within the Late Neolithic Period. In 2023, further excavations at KHS-A.13 were undertaken with the goal of confirming the age dating of the site and expanding our understanding of the extent and occupational sequence of the KHS-A complex. The trench consisted of a 3 × 4 m exposure revealing multiple fireplaces, ash pits, and post holes. The investigation of the Neolithic occupations at Al Khashbah seeks to open new routes and further perspectives in the study of Early and Middle Holocene in the broad area between the mountains and the Rub Al Khali desert.

Archaeological investigations on the necropolis of khor jarama: Campaign 2021-2022 - Sévin Allouet, Christophe (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Archaeological campaigns led during these last five years on the necropolis of Khor Jarama, located in the Ja’alan area, has brought to light what is probably a new prehistoric culture unknown in Oman. Indeed, the excavation of seven tombs located not far from the Jarama lagoon has enabled the discovery of the first funerary monuments known to date in Oman. These latter have been dated from the middle of the 4th millennium BCE for the oldest ones, that is to say several centuries before the monumental tombs of Hafit period. These tombs are characterized by new architectures as well as by new funerary practices observed in Oman. This discovery fills a void of data observed until now in Oman and located between 3600 and 3200 BCE, that is to say the period of transition between the end of the Neolithic and the beginning of the Hafit period. This discovery highly changes the vision that we had about the first prehistoric societies in Oman: there is probably here, very early at the end of the Neolithic, structured groups, probably hierarchized, and led by members buried in monumental tombs. A new campaign of survey in the Ja’alan area has allowed the discovery of eight others necropolis showing the same architectural characteristics than tombs of Jarama, and thus belonging probably to this period. Current investigations on these necropolis could come to confirm the identification of a new prehistoric period in Oman.

Bat archaeological project (2022-2023): Beyond the bat oasis - Swerida, Jennifer; Dollarhide, Eli; Jensen, Reilly; Bryant, Robert (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
The Bat Archaeological Project conducted its winter field season from December 26, 2022 until March 5, 2023. Our research focused on different areas of the Bat area’s Bronze Age archaeological landscape, including Rakhat Al Madrh, the Khutm Settlement, and the proposed location of the new Bat Visitors Center. At Rakhat Al Madrh, the team excavated three Umm an-Nar period houses. With assistance from a team of geomorphologists and geologists from the Sorbonne University, we also discovered that the houses were located around an ancient marsh/wetland where Umm an-Nar people likely experimented with early agriculture and pastured livestock. This ancient settlement is unlike any other known Early Bronze Age village or town in Arabia because of this environment. At Al Khutm, the team discovered and excavated Umm an-Nar houses and tombs and digitally mapped a very large fortress at the site dating to the Iron Age II. At the proposed location for the new Bat Visitors Center, we excavated and surveyed several mounds, which appear to be tombs that continue from the necropolis across the wadi. With the generous permission of the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, laboratory analyses on geological, C-14, botanical, and ceramic samples collected this season are currently underway.

Terraced landscapes of the jabal akhdar (2022-23): Fieldwork at shuraijah and wadi bani habib - Turner, Sam; Zerboni, Andrea; Kinnaird, Tim; Kindi, Mohammed al-; Sevara, Christopher; Brandolini, Filippo; Pezzotta, Andrea (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
Agricultural terraces are prominent features in landscapes across the world. Terraces enable the cultivation of steep land for crops including cereals, fruit, vegetables, flowers and trees, and can be irrigated where careful water management is required. They allow the redistribution of sediment to create soils with improved root penetration and water retention. Terraces are highly variable, their regional development reflecting a combination of natural factors (differing geologies, geomorphology, hydrological conditions) and landscape histories (manuring, field management, crop selection, water availability). The histories of terraced landscapes remain poorly understood, including in Oman. Little is known about when they were constructed, and how they were used and developed across different periods and environments. A key reason for this lack of knowledge is that terraces have proven exceptionally difficult to date using conventional or scientific archaeological methods. This research project uses a new method developed by the research team to date terraces in Oman for the first time and use geoarchaeological methods to investigate how they were used in the past. In March 2023, targeted fieldwork in two villages of Jabal Akhdar (Ash Shuraijah and Wadi Bani Habib) allowed collection of sediment samples for dating and geoarchaeological analysis.

Joint heidelberg university/ministry of heritage and tourism project (2023): Archaeological rescue operation at al khod, ḥūr ad-dabʿ, muscat - Yule, Paul A. (Athar: Bulletin of Archaeological Research in the Sultanate of Oman, 2025)
In September 2018 the population of the capital area reached 1.4 million. Places such as Al Khod need room for growth. The development of this area during the past 20 years includes the building of the Nizwa road, highway 15, to its north-east Lulu Al Bandar super market and flanking to its west a large housing settlement. There, pre-Islamic hut tombs are scattered over the three low mountains (600m x 300m area). The Ministry of Defence plan to develop the mountains (Fig. 2) as a recreational facility – the ‘Heritage Hill’ project. This report sketches the mapping and excavation (12.01. to 26.01.2023) and documents 140 burial structures, the excavated finds, the clearance of stone from the tomb cluster on the southern mountain, figures of the 3D and drawings of the tomb images. This site, with its hut tombs and niche graves is important to solve the problem of the dating and nomenclature of prehistoric funerary architecture. The author searches for an alternative to the nomenclature ‘cairn’ which describes not the original architecture, but rather an undifferentiated, dishevelled state of preservation.

The geoarchaeological investigation around the Bisya and Salut Archaeological Park disclosed the complexity of local archaeological landscape dating to the last millennia of the Holocene and the main steps in developing sophisticated systems for land exploitation. Recent fieldwork focused on the importance of rock art in the region, which needs to be systematically surveyed and documented. Rock art sites feature various representations dating from the second millennium BCE onwards and the research carried out in 2022 aimed to assess its archaeological potential, as well as identify any threats to its preservation. The investigation confirms that local rock art is a valuable asset for Oman’s archaeology and potential tourism. It suggests the development of geo-cultural tourism routes that combine archaeological sites and rock art with the natural landscapes. Nonetheless, the preservation of rock art and the issues threatening it need careful consideration and assessment for future planning.

الألبسة في طرابلس وبرقة وفزان خلال القرون 5-11م/1-5هـ (مقاربة تاريخية حول التأثيرات المحلية والخارجية) - وريث, أسامة عبد الحميد (مجلة كلية الآداب, 2025)
تُركز هذه الدراسة على رصد طبيعة وأنماط الملابس في ليبيا خلال القرون الألبسة في طرابلس وبرقة وفزان خلال القرون 5-11م/1-5هـ، وهو موضوع أهتم من خلاله بتوثيق التطور التاريخي لمراحل وأشكال الملابس المحلية، كالعباءات الرجالية والأردية النسائية والسراويل والطاقيات والصنادل. ومن الجيد رصد نوعية الملابس التي ارتداها سكان البلاد الليبية، إذ يُساعد هذا المنهج التسلسلي على تحديد التحولات التي طرأت على الملابس الليبية مع مرور الزمن. وتسعى الدراسة البحثية إلى التحقق من ماهية قطع الملابس المعنية بناءً على شهادات المصادر النصية أو الأدلة الأثرية، مع التمييز ما بين الملابس المنتجة محلياً وتلك المتأثرة منها بالثقافات الخارجية. خصوصاً وأن الملابس الطرابلسية الفاخرة بدأت بعد الإسلام تكتسب شهرة، وبعضها يأتي من جبل نفوسه، كما برزت منسوجات برقة الصوفية عالية الجودة، المنسوجة من صوف سلالة الخِراف البرقاوية الممتازة. This study focuses on documenting the nature and patterns of clothing in Libya between the 5th and 11th centuries CE (5th century AH). The research aims to trace the historical development of local garments, such as men’s cloaks, women’s robes, trousers, caps, and sandals. Examining the types of clothing worn by Libyans during this period is valuable, as this sequential approach helps identify transformations in Libyan attire over time. The study seeks to determine the characteristics of these garments based on textual sources and archaeological evidence, distinguishing between locally produced clothing and those influenced by external cultures. Notably, luxurious Tripolitanian garments gained prominence after the advent of Islam, some of which originated in the Nafusa Mountains. Additionally, high-quality woolen textiles from Barqa, woven from the fine wool of Barqawi sheep, became widely recognized.

Hégémonie, esclavage et modélisation des discours de domination sous les premiers empires au Proche-Orient médiéval - Trabelsi, Salah (Esclavages & Post-esclavages. Slaveries & Post-Slaveries, 2025)
Les victoires remportées par les Arabes sur les deux grands Empires perse et byzantin se sont soldées par l’annexion d’immenses territoires. Ces conquêtes soudaines et fulgurantes ont bouleversé les équilibres sociaux et institutionnels des vieilles cités de la péninsule Arabique. Un des effets inhérents à la conquête est la montée en puissance d’une oligarchie militaire arabe qui, aidée par ses affidés parmi les notables des pays vaincus, confisqua à son profit les biens et les terres, ceci entraînant une brusque recrudescence des violences et des exactions. Dans ce contexte, les populations colonisées furent souvent réduites à l’état de bêtes brutes, dénuées de sensibilité humaine. En plus du mépris et des catégorisations raciales, elles furent frappées d’exclusion en vertu d’une politique d’oppression et de spoliations massives et systématiques.Ces transformations profondes apparurent dès la deuxième moitié du viie siècle. Une de leurs conséquences décisives est la naissance d’un puissant empire édifié par les califes omeyyades. Descendant des notables affiliés au clan mecquois des ʿAbd S̲h̲ams, ces dynastes régnèrent à Damas entre 661 et 750 apr. J.-C. Après leur chute, ce fut au tour de leurs rivaux, les Abbassides, d’imposer leur domination depuis Bagdad sur des peuples et des territoires répartis sur des côtes aussi diverses que celles de la mer d’Arabie, du golfe Persique, de la mer Rouge, de la Méditerranée et des deux océans Atlantique et Indien.Cet article entend fournir une analyse historique et critique des rapports sociaux, économiques et culturels au Proche-Orient médiéval, à une époque marquée par la naissance et l’apogée des deux premiers empires coloniaux arabes. L’un de ses principaux enjeux est de sortir d’une histoire édifiante pour retrouver une approche méthodique, permettant de comprendre les mouvements profonds d’une si longue histoire. Il s’agit d’une démarche qui privilégie une relecture serrée des sources de première main et fait attention aux sens précis des mots et à la valeur informative des témoignages. Ces renseignements proviennent des documents de chancellerie, des dīwān ou bureaux des secrétaires royaux, des livres des impôts (Kharādj), des traités médicaux, des sources géographiques et littéraires, des annales historiques, etc. Ces corpus dont nous disposons sont sans doute assez réduits, incomplets et souvent laudatifs. Ils tendent généralement à édulcorer les réalités qu’ils décrivent. Il arrive néanmoins d’y trouver des indications significatives permettant de reconstituer la trame du réel. Ces données sont sans doute loin d’être sans défauts. Elles nous aident cependant à mieux cerner les faits pour les replacer dans l’infinie variété du réel tout en élargissant les champs d’investigation au sujet des discours sur l’altérité, de l’évolution des mentalités, de l’entrée en jeu des préjugés de couleur, des hiérarchies sociales et des identités biologiques et culturelles.

Yazīd al-Fazārī (d. c.185/800)’s Kitāb al-Rudūd (The Book of Responses) and Ḍirār b. ʿAmr al-Ġaṭāfānī’s (d. c.200/810) Kitāb al-Taḥrīš (The Book of Provocation). Both texts shed light on the emergence of ʿilm al-kalām (scholastic theology) in early Islam and its relationship to books and treatises on the Islamic firaq (sects) – a relationship which until now has not been sufficiently examined. In comparing these two texts, we focus on the specific topics they share, the methodologies they use, and the technical terms they employ. We conclude that the emergence of ʿilm al-kalām, as well as the Islamic “contemplative disciplines” in general, occurred not primarily, as is often surmised, as a result of external Greek philosophical influence but rather as the result of a politico-theological debate that took place within Muslim communities. We also reconsider the nature of intellectual life during the early Abbasid period.

L'entreprenariat ethnique en France - Dinh, Bernard (Hommes et Migrations, 2006)
Depuis le milieu des années quatre-vingt, les sciences sociales se sont penchées sur les activités indépendantes exercées par les migrants et ont mis en évidence une série de facteurs explicatifs. Si les interdictions statutaires ont été maintenues après la Libération, limitant la présence des étrangers sur le marché du travail, force est de constater qu'une classe d'entrepreneurs d'origine étrangère (artisans, commerçants ou chef d'entreprise) s'est affirmée depuis plus de deux décennies. Leur nombre a considérablement augmenté, compensant en partie la baisse importante et constante des entrepreneurs français.

Depuis ceux que l'on a appelés les "Auvergnats de Paris" jusqu'aux restaurants chinois de nos quartiers en passant par l'épicerie berbère du coin c'est selon un même processus qu'à différentes époques , des migrants d'origines diverses exercent leur activité dans le commerce de proximité, là où le lien familial et communautaire tient une place prépondérante. Ce faisant ces commerces contribuent au maintien de la convivialité dans les espaces urbains.

Privacy and Gendered Domestic Spaces in the 21st Century: Mapping Sociocultural Continuity in the Community led-housing Project of Ksar Tafilelt, Algeria - Messabih, Hadjer; Wulff, Federico (ARCHive-SR, 2025)
As a sociocultural product, the home is shaped by specific sociocultural norms and values. Economic development and modernisation have significantly affected the architecture of many Muslim homes, resulting in a disconnection from Islamic culture. This paper explores two sociocultural factors in Muslim housing: privacy and gender segregation. The analysis highlights how the principles of traditional Islamic architecture are still woven into contemporary designs, using Ksar Tafilelt in Algeria as a case study. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the Mozabite house in Ksar Tafilelt continues to uphold the social customs and religious beliefs of its residents despite the influences of modernisation. Through fieldwork and comparative analysis, both the traditional house in the original Mozabite settlement and the contemporary house in Ksar Tafilelt are examined in terms of user zones rather than functional zones. This approach investigates how these homes uphold traditional Mozabite architectural patterns while accommodating contemporary comfort needs. The study methodology also includes a combination of questionnaires and interviews conducted with a sample of 70 residents from Ksar Tafilelt. The findings reveal factors that have enabled the Mozabite community to maintain its Islamic identity. They also emphasise a notably conservative, family-oriented culture, which is reflected in the organisation of household spaces. This research study highlights the significance of involving the community in housing projects and comprehending the sociocultural principles of the local population throughout the construction process.

العمل التطوعي في مؤسسة العشيرة دراسة استطلاعية - إباض, بهون علي; مختار, يمينة (مجلة آفاق علمیة, 2025)
ملخص باللغة العربية: يسعى الباحثان من خلال هذه الدراسة إلى اكتشاف ظاهرة العمل التطوعي في مؤسسة العشيرة داخل مجتمع بني مزاب، حيث تم اعتماد المنهج الوصفي كونه الملائم لهذا النوع من الدراسات والتي تعد الأولى من نوعها حسب اطلاع الباحثين، وذلك بغرض جمع أكبر قدر من المعلومات الوصفية وقد وزع الباحثان استمارة الكترونية على عينة قصدية بطريقة كرة الثلج، حيث بلغ مجموعها 278 استمارة، وقد ركز الباحثان على أهم المهارات المكتسبة للعمل التطوعي وكذا معرفة المعيقات ومنه الخلوص إلى بلورة اقتراحات عملية تساعد على فعالية العمل التطوع داخل مؤسسة العشيرة تحديداً، وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى مجموعة نتائج أهمها؛ ضعف مشاركة المرأة في مؤسسة العشيرة، والدافع الرئيس من الإقبال على العمل التطوعي هو ابتغاء الأجر العظيم؛ مما يشجع على استمرارية العطاء رغم وجود بعض المعيقات المتعلقة بنقص التكوين ونقص السيولة المالية. Abstract: The researchers aimed at exploring the voluntary work phenomenon in Al-Ashira institution in M’zab valley. As this study is unprecedented, the descriptive method was used, so a huge data were collected with an electronic questionnaire administrated to 278 individuals sampled through snowballing style. We focused on dimensions related to voluntary work acquired skills, and obstacles encountered by them. The findings showed low participation of females in Al-Ashira institution, and the primary motive to participate in voluntary work is to obtain a great reward from Allah, which wields power to Al-Ashira members to be persistent though obstacles pertaining to low formation, and low funds.

The Position of Ilm al-Rijal in the Ibadi Sect - Shamkhi, Mina; Masoudian, Aref (Studies on Understanding Hadith, 2025)
The issue of hadith purification and the preservation of the Prophetic tradition in the Ibadi sect has led to the development of the science of Rijāl as one of the fundamental pillars of hadith studies in this sect. Given the widespread fabrication of hadiths throughout various historical periods, examining the principles and criteria of this discipline is essential for assessing narrations. This study aims to explain and analyze the foundations of Ibadi Rijāl studies and compare them with those of other sects, namely Shia and Sunni, using a descriptive-analytical method. In its initial stages, by reviewing the history of Rijāl science and its sources, including the Musnad Rabi‘ ibn Ḥabīb and the Mudawwanah of Abū Ghānim al-Khurāsānī, the research demonstrates how the Ibadis, unlike other schools that primarily rely on Sunni or Shia sources, have managed to establish an independent identity in hadith scholarship. This article explores the various dimensions of Ibadi Rijāl studies and explains its influence on the sect's religious identity. By examining criteria such as integrity, precision, Islam, maturity, intellect, moral uprightness, consistency of practice with narration, verification of the primary narrator, avoidance of tadlīs (concealment of defects in narration), and endorsement of narrations by scholars, the study highlights the distinctive features of the Ibadi Rijāl system. Additionally, the necessity of referring to Sunni sources for evaluating hadiths, particularly due to the lack of independent Ibadi works on jarḥ wa ta‘dīl (criticism and authentication of narrators), underscores key differences between this sect and others.

Preliminary remarks on linguistic variation within Nafusi - Flaviano, Mariacarmela (Maydan: rivista sui mondi arabi, semitici e islamici, 2024)
The paper outlines three elements of variation among two geographically close Berber languages spoken in the Nafusa Mountains (Libya), the Amazigh1 spoken in Jadu and Jemmari on the one hand and the Amazigh spoken in Yefren on the other hand, identified as two sub-groups of Nafusi Berber (Naït-Zerrad 2012). The variety spoken in Jadu and Jemmari is documented in a grammar by Beguinot (1931), while the Yefren variety lacks a grammar or a comprehensive linguistic description. This paper investigates and compares three aspects based on available data from Jadu and Jemmari, included in Beguinot’s grammar, and some newly transcribed texts from Yefren. The comparison concerns the so-called state distinction (annexed/free) morphologically marked on nouns, non-verbal constructions, and verbal negation. The paper aims to provide some preliminary data on the Amazigh spoken in Yefren, which currently lacks a proper grammatical description, outlining some elements of variation with the Amazigh spoken in Jadu. The paper is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis but rather a preliminary study, part of a larger project.

“Berbers,” “Khārijites” and “Knowledge Bearers”: How the Ibāḍīs Shaped a Regional Counter-Memory in North Africa - Aillet, Cyrille (Arabica, 2025)
Les soulèvements qui, vers le milieu du viiie siècle, détachèrent une part importante du Maghreb de la tutelle orientale, représentèrent un défi significatif pour le jeune Empire abbasside. Que s’était-il passé ? Dans leur tentative d’explication de la situation en Occident, la plupart des sources mirent en avant l’opposition entre les conquérants et les « Berbères » autochtones, dépeints comme un peuple non civilisé, insoumis et rallié au courant des rebelles « Khārijites ». Dans les régions où l’ibadisme s’était répandu, une contre-mémoire ne tarda toutefois pas à émerger. Les Ibāḍites inventèrent leur propre récit du passé, en célébrant l’Occident comme un nouveau berceau religieux et les Berbères comme un nouveau peuple élu, dont la conversion à l’islam était vue comme un choix volontaire. Cet article compare le récit le plus courant sur l’Afrique du Nord avec la version ibāḍite tout en essayant d’évaluer comment ces deux faisceaux narratifs interagissaient.

أبو غانم بشر بن غانم الخراساني (ت: 205هـ) ومنهجة في "المدونة": دراسة تحليلية - الهادي, سيف بن سالم (التجديد - مجلة فكرية محكمة, 2025)
قدم البحث شخصية علمية من خراسان، اشتغلت على الخلاف العالي، وآمنت بالتعددية الفكرية، وانتقلت كما انتقل غيرها من علماء خرسان إلى حواضر العالم الإسلامي، في العراق والجزيرة العربية؛ من أجل الإسهام في الإنتاج العلمي. كان أبو غانم الخراساني حريصًا على تدوين فقه المدرسة الإباضية، والمقارنة بين آراء تلاميذ أبي عبيدة مسلم بن أبي كريمة على مستوى الخلاف داخل المدرسة وخارجها، فقدم كتابًا رائعًا أسماه: "المدونة"، وهو أول سِفْرٌ إباضيٌّ في الخلاف العالي، سُمِّي لاحقا بالمدونة الصغرى، التي هي في مقابل المدونة الكبرى، التي تعرضت للإضافة من قبل علماء الإباضية اللاحقين. يُعَدُّ البحث عن مثل هذه الشخصيات المغمورة لدى المدراس الأخرى مهم جدًّا، إذ يمنح الباحثين فرصة للاطلاع على النتاج العلمي المبكر في المدراس الإسلامية، كما يعالج الكثير من الأحكام المبنية على الاستقراءات الناقصة عند الحديث عن المدراس المخالفة، ولقلة الكتابة عن أبي غانم؛ كان هذا البحث إسهامًا ضروريًّا في المجلات المحكمة؛ نظرًا لقربها المباشر من الباحثين. تضمَّن البحثُ الحديثَ عن شخصية أبي غانم، وقدراته العلمية، وتميزه الأخلاقي، وفيه أيضًا حديثٌ عن المذهب الإباضي؛ نشأته، ومعالمه الفقهية، والسياسية، وعلاقته بمذاهب أهل السنة، وفيه أثبت الباحث تميُّز المذهب بالاجتهاد المطلق، وبراءته من الانتساب للخوارج؛ فقهًا وسياسةً. الكلمات المفتاحية: أبوغانم، أبو عبيد، الإباضية، المدونة، الفقه المقارن.

المصطلح في الفكر الإباضي ودوره الفاعل في وحدة المسلمين: (The Terminology in Ibadi Thought and Its Active Role in Muslim Unity) - الخروصي, أحمد بن سالم بن موسى (التجديد - مجلة فكرية محكمة, 2024)
ملخص البحث يهدف هذا البحث إلى إبراز قضية اصطلاحية لها أثرها الظاهر في واقع الوحدة بين المسلمين، ألا وهي جزئية المصطلحات التي سطرها أعلام المذهب الإباضي عند ذكر مخالفيهم من عموم المسلمين، ذلك أن المصطلح يشكل عنصرا أصيلا في بناء الفكر الإسلامي، وطالما كان المصطلح برمزيته ومضامينه محل إشكالات جوهرية في واقع المصنفات عند المسلمين في حقبهم المختلفة، لذا كان من المهم العكوف على إبراز تجليات المصطلح الذي يمكن أن يفتح أبواب الوحدة بين المسلمين. وقد تتبعت هذه الورقة هذا الموضوع من خلال استقراء ما جاء في مدونات الإباضية -عند المتقدمين خاصة- مع تحليل وتوصيف لما جاء في مقالاتهم. وقد كشف ذلك الاستقراء عن وفرة في المصطلحات التي استقر عليها الإباضية في التعبير عن المخالف مما يشي بروح الجامعة الإسلامية التي تجمع ولا تفرق. وقد أوصت الورقة بضرورة تبين أضراب هذه المصطلحات ودراستها من حيث المنطلقات والدوافع مع ضرورة استحضار الوقائع التاريخية التي صاحبتها لتكون مادة علمية تنبه الدارسين في المؤسسات العلمية عامة إلى هذا الموضوع وأصالته في فكرنا الإسلامي الناصع. الكلمات المفتاحية: المصطلح، الإباضية، المؤلفات، وحدة الأمة.

سردية الخرافة الشعبية الأمازيغية: قراءة في كتاب حكايات أمازيغية لفتحي بن معمر - ضو, سليم (Revue de l'Institut des Belles Lettres Arabes, 2023)
نهتمُّ في هذا المقال بدراسة لون من الأدب الشعبي هو الخرافة الشعبيّة الأمازيغيّة، وذلك بالبحث في بنيتها –أي الخرافة الشعبية- وخصائصها ومميزاتها التي بها تتفرّد عن سائر أنماط الأدب الشعبي الأخرى على غرار الأحاجي والأمثال وأغاني النساء... والنظر في القوانين التي من خلالها تنتظمُ، لغرض الوقوف على ملامح سرديّتها وأدبيّتها. وذلك من خلال تركيز النظر على مُدوّنة تونسيّة أثْرت بوضوح الأدب الشعبيّ التونسي، وأسهمت في نفض الغبار عن ثقافة محليّة مغمورة –نعني الثقافة الأمازيغيّة- يلفّها الكثير من النسيان والإغفال ويتهدّدها الاضمحلال جرّاء تراجع نسبة الناطقين بها لاعتبارات عديدة، ونقصدُ بذلك مجموعة "حكايات أمازيغيّة جربيّة" الكاتب التونسي من أصل أمازيغي فتحي بن معمر (1967). وتنخرطُ مجموعته هذه ضمن مشروع ثقافي كان قد انطلق فيه منذ سنوات يهدفُ إلى تجميع المادّة التراثية الأمازيغيّة الشفهيّة وتوثيقها ونشرها للتعريف بها لدى الأجيال الجديدة ولحمياتها من كل أشكال الطّمس والتغييب والسطو عليها. وسيكون تركيزنا خلال هذا المقال مُنصبًّا على فحص الخصائص الأجناسيّة لهذه النصوص ووظائفها، وذلك بالانطلاق بدراسة بنية هذه الحكايات الخارجيّة والداخليّة أي البنية القصصية المتكونة من اُطر وفواعل وأحداث، مرورا بالبحث في الشخصيات وأصنافها ووظائفها مستفيدين في ذلك من المنهج المورفولوجي لفلاديمير بروب، ثمّ التعريج على خصائص الأُطر الزمانية والمكانية، اِنتهاءً بالمواضيع والقضايا التي أثارتها هذه القصص. ثمّ في عُنصر لاحق لجأنا إلى رصد جُملة الوظائف التي تؤدّيها هذه الحكايات والتي منها ما يتعلّقُ بالراوي ومنها ما يتعلق بالمروي لهُ.
