Shaped by Stone: The Tools That Made Prehistoric Qatar

Shaped by Stone: The Tools That Made Prehistoric Qatar highlights the Stone Age in Qatar and showcases significant archaeological finds, including various stone tools such as arrowheads, spears, axes, knives and blades, discovered in large quantities across the country. For the first time, the exhibition presents archaeological discoveries from newly found camel graves in Qatar dating to the pre-Islamic period—the same era when similar graves were found in other parts of the Arabian Peninsula, such as Mleiha in the Emirate of Sharjah. A collection of artifacts from Mleiha will be displayed to emphasize the historic ties between the UAE and Qatar. Sharjah Archaeology Museum, Qatar, through April 30.
