Tumulus burial field on the north coast of Kuwait Bay. Preliminary excavation report on the Spring season in 2011

Summary/Abstract: Field research was concentrated on excavating burial mounds and non-sepulchral structures located in the area of Bahra (cluster of structures SB 60–SB 73, for which it was the second and final season of exploration) and on surveying and archaeological interventions in the Dubaij and Ras al-Subiyah areas located approximately 12 km further to the east, giving the opportunity for an archaeological comparison of two different parts of the coast. In total, 13 Stone structures were explored, including six tumuli, four “elongated structures”, and three representing the “other” category. New data emerged, especially regarding the typological classification of burial mounds and the limits of the cemetery. The prospection covered about 14.50 km2, identifying altogether 35 archaeological features.
