In September 2014, the University of New England (UNE), Australia, began a three-year programme of archaeological fieldwork and post-excavation analyses focused on the site of Saruq al-Hadid. In this paper, we present the initial results of our current field and laboratory research particularly related to site stratigraphy and formation processes, relative and absolute chronology, and the preliminary results of various programmes of post-excavation analyses including archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological, ceramic and archaeometallurgical studies. These studies provide new data to build into the archaeological understanding of Saruq al-Hadid that has, to date, focused largely on intensive excavation.

阿联酋迪拜 Saruq al-Hadid 的近期考古研究

2014 年 9 月，澳大利亚新英格兰大学 (UNE) 开始了一项为期三年的考古实地考察和挖掘后分析计划，重点是萨鲁克·哈迪德 (Saruq al-Hadid) 遗址。在本文中，我们介绍了我们当前的实地和实验室研究的初步结果，特别是与遗址地层学和形成过程、相对和绝对年代学有关的初步结果，以及包括考古植物学、动物考古学、陶瓷和考古冶金学在内的各种挖掘后分析程序的初步结果。学习。这些研究提供了新的数据，以建立对 Saruq al-Hadid 的考古理解，迄今为止，该研究主要集中在密集挖掘上。
