Summary/Abstract: For the fourth time (and for the first time in the spring), at the invitation of the Kuwaiti National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, a PCMA expedition carried out excavations in the region of As-Sabbiya (northern Kuwait). Field research was concentrated on excavating burial mounds in a new location, surveyed in 2009, in the area of Bahra. Five stone features, including four burial mounds were explored. A different set of grave goods was recovered compared to that found in the area of Mugheira excavated in the previous years. Two desert well sites were also investigated.
