Extractions: Wadi Shumylya, Yemen The goals of this project are to document past interactions between human activity, landscape modification, and climate in a region which is presently extremely arid and supports little vegetation. Abundant archaeological evidence exists that suggests agriculture was much more widespread and evolved alongside the development of irrigation technology during a period when rainfall was more plentiful. We are looking for additional evidence in the region to test the hypothesis that cultivation of domesticated crops was being carried out as early as 7,000 years ago, and even in the earliest agricultural activities, humans were having a substantial impact on the landscape through the modification of fluvial systems. Research is also being conducted to document the timing and magnitude of changing precipitation patterns in the region using a variety of paleoclimate proxy data. Research is being carried out collaboratively with the Minnesota RASA (Roots of Agriculture in Southern Arabia) project, headed by Dr. Joy McCorriston, and the Ministry of Antiquities in Yemen. Funding for the project has been provided by the National Science Foundation, University of Minnesota, and Canadian Occidental Petroleum Company (CANOXY). Fieldwork began in February-March, 1998, and hopefully will continue in January-February 2000 (depending on funding). View looking across the southwest corner of the Arabian peninsula towards Africa. The Arabian Sea is in the center left, and the Red Sea is on the Right. Wadi Shumylya is part of a tributary system to Wadi Hadramout, a region of extensive archaeological exploration. Prior to about 5,000 years ago, seasonal monsoonal rains originating in the Indian Ocean - Arabian Sea penetrated farther north across the southern Arabian peninsula than they do today. Although still moisture limited, adequate rainfall and more abundant vegetation supported the cultural shift to agrarian subsistence farming, perhaps as early as 7,000 - 8,000 years ago.
