KUWAIT-POLISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL MISSION RETURN TO AL-SUBIYAH

  • 04/11/2022

Kuwait City: The Kuwaiti-Polish Archaeological Mission (KPAM) resumed work in the Al-Subiyah desert in northern Kuwait after a pause brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. The team investigates the prehistoric Bahra 1 site, which was occupied in the middle of the sixth millennium BCE during the Ubaid period. It is a sizable settlement that exhibits cultural traits from both the Chalcolithic Ubaid culture that emerged in Southern Mesopotamia and the Arabian Neolithic tradition. 


It is the largest settlement from this period known from the Arabian Peninsula. The KPAM a cooperation between the National Council of Culture Arts and Letters of the State of Kuwait (NCCAL) and the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw (PCMA UW) has been excavating the site since 2009, with a gap caused by the pandemic. We are very happy to be back in Kuwait and able to resume the work interrupted after the 2019 season, says Prof. Bieli ski, the director of the Polish side of the KPAM who presented the results of work at a meeting organized at the Polish Embassy in Kuwait. Bahra 1, discovered by Dr. Sultan Ad-Duweish, the Director of Archaeology at the National Museum in Kuwait and co-director of the KPAM, has already yielded many discoveries unprecedented in this period.
