Abstract This article discusses a group of outstanding pottery fragments from the summit of Jabal Dādān (al-Khurayba) at al-ʿUlā in Saudi Arabia. The importance of these fragments comes from the absence of published material from the Dādān site, the lack of color-decorated ceramic vessels among the published material, and the diversity in the bases and shapes of the vessels. Comparative studies indicate that this collection falls within the group of colored pottery from northwestern Saudi Arabia, generally dated to between the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 1st millennium bce . The collection appears similar to the Taymāʾ pottery in a number of decorative elements, such as: the chessboard element. These collections indicate that al-Khurayba was in contact with several sites within Saudi Arabia, such as the sites of Taymāʾ and Qurayya in the northwest, and the sites of al-Sīḥ and al-Banna in the center, as well as sites elsewhere in the Arabian Peninsula, such as the al-Muwayliḥ site in the United Arab Emirates, and sites outside the Arabian Peninsula, including Tall al-Khalīfa in the Levant.

Hamad ibn Abdallah Al-angari
Abstract This paper seeks to shed light on the copying of manuscripts in Najd in central Arabia during the period prior to the fall of al-Dirʿiyya in 1818 and the fate of those manuscripts after that momentous event. It begins by a consideration of the movement of copying manuscripts in Najd during the era of the First Saudi State in the 18th century, including the reasons for which manuscripts were copied, the types of manuscripts copied, and the sources of those manuscripts. Attention is then given to the effect the fall of al-Dirʿiyya had on intellectual life in Najd, including the destruction of the existing book repositories and the transfer of many manuscript copies outside the borders of Najd, or their total loss or destruction. This paper will attempt to offer answers regarding the fate of those manuscripts, by following the progress of several of them and determining what happened to them. This will be done by consulting the relevant sources, particularly the available archival records, as well as following up on those that are to be found within Saudi Arabia itself or beyond its borders. The article includes a list of Najdi manuscripts preserved worldwide.

Abdullah Muhammad AlSaif
Abstract Agriculture is a sine qua non for human societies as it provides the food that people need to live. This article will examine the state of agriculture in the region of al-Yamāma in central Arabia during the Abbasid period. It begins with a consideration of the factors affecting agriculture, including some that are uniquely important in the central Arabian context. Attention then turns to a discussion of land holdings and land grants, methods of irrigation, the different types of agriculture, and the crops cultivated. Dates are seen to be the most important agricultural commodity, followed closely by grains. Much less information is available regarding fruits and vegetables. The article relies solely on primary Arabic sources.

Musāʿid ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Sadḥān
Abstract This article seeks to examine popular proverbs from the central Arabian region of Najd in order to collect evidence for traditional architecture in the region. It will be seen that popular proverbs are a rich documentary source for understanding architectural heritage, including but not limited to, the types of buildings represented in the traditional built heritage of Najd, the distinguishing characteristics of those buildings, their constituent elements, materials used in construction, tools, and tradesmen. Folk literature in general, and proverbs in particular, are seen are seen to be a valuable, although non-traditional, source of information that springs from the depths of the indigenous culture itself.
