The Reuse of Tombs in Eastern Arabia
People in the past were always confronted with surviving remains from previous periods, and reacted to and engaged with them in varying ways. One activity through which this becomes visible is the reuse of tombs. If this reuse is an intentional reference to the past, it explicitly communicates meaning and thus cultural memory.

The fourth volume of the Arabia Orientalis series publishes the confe...
