October 2014 and February 2015 archaeological excavations on Marawah Island were limited to a small trench at site MR11. This cleared an area about 5 x 5 m to the southern side of Room 1, which had been fully emptied down to bedrock during the earlier excavations ( 2008). A two-week excavation enabled the clearing of a large amount of stone rubble to the south and south-west of Room 1. Finds were relatively sparse and only included a flint tile knife, two more examples of trihedral flint projectile points, some general stone debitage fragments, and a few beads (Fig. 10). The excavation, however, revealed that the main structure of Room 1, and its associated rooms, was indeed built directly onto the local limestone bedrock. The trench also revealed two other significant features: (1) a significant hearth area located outside the structure, which had no diagnostic finds; samples of ash have been taken from this hearth, but the results of radiocarbon dating are not yet known; (2) a further apsidal-ended chamber, similar in appearance to Room 1, was noted immediately to the west/south-west of Room 1. This will be the target of excavation in future seasons. ...

They were sophisticated and skilled. They built permanent stone houses, knew how to navigate, herded sheep and goats, mined, made jewellery, fished, traded and even created decorative art.
This Stone Age community existed on Marawah Island. Marawah lies just off the coast of Mirfa town, about 160 kilometres west of Abu Dhabi city.
The Neolithic site was originally identified in the 1990s but only in the past few years has the extent and sophistication of the village settlement become more apparent.
More details about the archaeological finds centering around one site, MR11, will be discussed at NYUAD on Wednesday evening in a lecture by Dr Mark Beech.
Dr Beech is the leading archaeologist with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and he has directed the painstaking excavations on the island.
“People have a funny idea from Hollywood movies about the Stone Age and that the people are barbarians,” said Dr Beech.
“But they are clever and intelligent. They built their houses at the highest point to catch the breeze. They adapted, like we adapted with air-conditioning.”
