Time Of Magan

Time of Magan has been exploring since 2017 the settlement of RJ-3, in the bay of Ras Al Jinz, at the easternmost cape of the Arabian Peninsula.

Ras Al Jinz is a key area for Arabian archaeology, and one of the foremost Early Bronze Age sites in the region. Bordering the Indian Ocean, RJ-3 was occupied from the Late Neolithic (4th mill BCE) to the end of the Early Bronze Age (EBA, 3rd mill. BCE).

Our field school programs are an excellent opportunity for BA and MA students to gain experience in the field of Arabian Archaeology, and more broadly in settlement archaeology (excavation and documentation) and artefacts/ecofacts processing and recording.We provide a range of expert-led research-focused training designed to introduce students to practical archaeological field methods (stratigraphic excavation, SU sheets, graphic documentation, Total Station) and to build and expand on knowledge and experience gained during their university studies (finds managment, photogrammetry, GIS,.)
