Geoarchaeological and paleozoological field observations obtained from Jabal At-Tais mountain, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia
摘要
The subject of this research deals with the study of inscriptions and rock drawings found in Jabal At-Tais Mountain located at the type locality of the Saq Formation west of Al-Qassim. In this research, two inscriptions in the Thamudic language, an elaborate drawing of a lion in a clicked manner, and drawings of wild goats and hounds were identified. These inscriptions and drawings indicate the early development of the Arabic alphabetic and the possibility of the passage of ancient trade routes near Jabal At-Tais Mountain.
