New findings highlight the pioneering role of human groups who lived in the interior of northern Arabia shortly after the hyper-arid conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), guided by the return of seasonal water sources—and leaving behind a monumental legacy in rock art.

A team of international archaeologists, led by the Heritage Commission, Saudi Ministry of Culture, and comprising scholars from the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), University College London, Griffith University and more—made the discoveries as part of the Green Arabia Project.
