ABHA: The 17th season of the Heritage Commission’s archeological excavation project at the Jurash site in Asir has now ended.
The scheme is part of the commission’s ongoing efforts to preserve national heritage, document archeological and architectural features, and highlight the Kingdom’s cultural diversity.
Excavations have uncovered residential structures from two distinct periods, built with dressed stone and mud mortar. These units include grain storage niches, pottery ovens and basins, reflecting the architectural traditions of their respective periods. A range of artifacts was also discovered, including stone tools such as pestles and millstones, and glass vessels.
The commission reaffirmed its commitment to continuing archaeological work and strengthening documentation and protection efforts, supporting the preservation of cultural heritage in line with Vision 2030.
