• The 2014 season of the al-Ḥumaymah Excavation Project was devoted to surveying rock-carved graffiti and other human activity areas on Jabal Kalkhah and the sandstone ridges west of al-Ḥumaymah’s Nabataean through early Islamic settlements (Reeves, Harvey and Seymour 2018). In the course of this survey, a local resident, Swaylem al Manaja, directed our attention to a natural sandstone pavement on the slopes of Jabal Kalkhah that was covered in more than a hundred rock-carved images and texts.
