The study, titled"The Middle Holocene 'funerary avenues' of north-west Arabia" and published in peer-review journal The Holocene, explored how many of the pathways are flanked by stone monuments which are actually ancient tombs. "Thousands of kilometers of these composite path and monument features, 'funerary avenues,' can be traced across the landscape, especially around and between major perennial water sources," the study said."By evidencing routes of human movement during this period, these features provide an emerging source for reconstructing important aspects of ancient mobility and social and economic connectivity.
Dr. Matthew Dalton, lead author of the study, is a research associate at the University of Western Australia. He and other archeologists from the university conducted research for what is their fourth peer-reviewed article within the past year, working under the Royal Commission for AlUla.
