No full textThe excavation of the temple of ʿAthtar dhu-Qabḍ in Barāqish. Stratigraphic data and historical reconstruction
No full textExcavations conducted by the Italian Archaeological Mission on the site of Barāqish (ancient Minaean Yathill) between 2004 and 2006 were able to unearth a massive hypostyle temple dedicated to the supreme Minaean divinity ʿAthtar dhu-Qabḍ. The present article aims to reassess some of the preliminary results of these campaigns. The most significant architectonic features of this Minaean temple are outlined here, also emphasizing relevant similarities and differentiations between this building and the contiguous temple of Nakraḥ, excavated during the 1990s. Bigger dimensions, a six-pillared propylon, internal hall at a lower level and, possibly, the presence of an upper storey, are the more noteworthy features of this building. Some archaeological information obtained from the upper Islamic phases is also presented. These dense layers testify to the long and continuous occupation of the site from medieval to recent times. It is generally believed that these levels not only hid but also in some cases helped to protect the more ancient South Arabian ruins in this site. Finally, I will discuss two of the most complex phases of this building. The first concerns the circumstances of its foundation and its hypothetical dating to the end of the fourth century BC. The second involves the period of abandonment following the fall of the Minaean kingdom (first century BC/AD), a phase that is still unclear, but which, according to this documentation, seems to have occurred only gradually

New perspectives on Minaean expiatory texts
No full textDuring the excavations of the Italian Archaeological Mission at Barāqish (directed by A. de Maigret – 1990/1992 and 2000/2006) new texts related to the confession of sins were discovered. This new epigraphic documentation can help us to better define certain religious and social aspects within South Arabia in the 1st millennium BC. One of the main issues that the study concentrates on is the relationship between the confession/expiation and a given divinity, with particular attention paid to the role of the god Nakraḥ, who is often connected with these confessions, and whose cult was particularly widespread in the Barāqish area and its neighbouring area. The new text Y.03.B.A.1, presented here, is the occasion to synthesise the state of art regarding this ritual. It also gives an indication of two divinities previously unknown in the Minaean pantheon
Campagna di scavo a Khor Mughsayl (Dhofar, Sultanato dell'Oman). Note preliminari
No full textThe archaeological campaign in Khor Mughsayl aimed at clarifying function and chronology of this set- tlement on the coast of Omani Dhofar. After some previous investigations (AFSM, BYU and J. Zarins), the possibility of the presence of a pre-Islamic phase was in fact repeatedly suggested. The site revealed three main specialized sectors: a basin area built around a well, a sacral area with a mosque and some regular rooms that were probably connected with fish working and storing. A probe was also conducted in a lateral room to the mosque, where the possibility of more ancient phases underneath was stronger. The result of this investigation proved that Khor Mughsayl falls within the Islamic era and the prelimi- nary analysis of pottery assemblage seems to confirm this conclusion
