Exploring how ancient people created and inhabited specific sites remains a mysterious challenge for archaeologists. The Al‐Khuribah site is one of the most crucial archaeological places in the north‐western part of Saudi Arabia, and its existence is dated from the eighth to the first century bc. The area is characterized by various archaeological remains that engender debate on the interpretation of those remains among the archaeological community. Aerial images, ground magnetic surveys, and excavation results have been integrated in the proposed area for current and future excavation planning. A Google Earth aerial image for the study site revealed that surface pattern characteristics of the site are in the form of remains of adjacent houses with relatively small rooms. Despite composition similarities between the archaeological remains and host sediments, the integrated results of the analysed aerial image and magnetic gradient results showed significant archaeological features that cannot be traced using one method. To complete the interpretation of an archaeological character at a site, the results of the analysed aerial image and magnetic gradient have been evaluated through successive excavation. Overall, the results evidently support the hypothesis regarding the type of occupation of people living close to the religious temple that was excavated in the area earlier. To support such a hypothesis, the archaeological remains, which include various sized kilns, numerous linear wall features, and some of the daily used objects, must be analysed.

沙特阿拉伯Al'Ula地区Dadan站点的航空影像，地磁和开挖综合结果用于沉降评估

对于考古学家来说，探索古代人如何创造和居住特定地点仍然是一个神秘的挑战。在Al-Khuribah网站是在沙特阿拉伯西北部最重要的考古地区之一，它的存在是从第八追溯至一世纪公元前。该地区的特点是各种考古遗迹，引发了考古界对这些遗迹的解释的辩论。航拍图像，地磁测量和开挖结果已整合到建议的区域中，用于当前和将来的开挖规划。该研究地点的Google地球航空影像显示该地点的表面图案特征是具有相对较小房间的相邻房屋的残骸形式。尽管考古遗迹和宿主沉积物的成分相似，但分析的航空影像和磁梯度结果的综合结果显示出重要的考古特征，无法使用一种方法进行追踪。为了完成现场考古人物的解释，通过连续挖掘评估了分析的航空影像和磁梯度的结果。总体而言，这些结果显然支持了关于居住在该地区较早发掘的宗教寺庙附近的人的职业类型的假说。为了支持这种假设，必须分析考古遗迹，其中包括各种大小的窑炉，众多的线性墙面特征以及一些日常使用的物体。
