Museums in Arabia : transnational practices and regional processes
\"Museum activity has, in recent years, undergone major and rapid development in the Arabian Peninsula, with the regeneration of existing museums as well as the establishment of new ones. Alongside such rapid expansion, questions are inevitably raised as to the new challenges museums face in this region and whether the museum, as a central focus of heritage preservation, also runs the risk of overshadowing local forms of heritage performance and preservation\"--Page i.

A Preliminary Report on the Cemeteries of Bir Madhkur
The Bir Madhkur Excavation and Survey's 1997 season sought to uncover the Nabataean, Roman, and Byzantine site's sociocultural, political-economic, and biological history through archaeological survey and excavation. The excavation component of this project served to demonstrate the feasibility of future bioarchaeological investigations through exploration of two cemeteries within the site's environs. Skeletal remains from Bir Madhkur's cemeteries potentially can address questions regarding the nature of regional military conscription and the origin of and social and economic interactions between local populations. Excavation of three surface features within the two cemeteries revealed well-preserved burials dating to the Roman/Byzantine and Islamic periods. The date and preservation of these skeletal remains demonstrate the fruitfulness of bioarchaeological analyses for addressing relevant archaeological and historical research questions at Bir Madhkur.
