On hold
I'm placing the review on hold for a week because there are not enough citations and one section alone has three unsourced paragraphs. Could you please attend to the sources and I will then continue the review. I will not make any other comments now except that single sentence paragraphs are deprecated and I've joined two of them to their neighbours. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 20:46, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Passes GA
The citations have been provided and I have been able to complete the review. The article is satisfactory as reflected in the criteria checks above. I was an archaeology student myself, once upon a time, but never had any involvement with this region so it has been interesting to read something new. I would imagine that the Arabian peninsula does not have wide coverage on WP so this article may even be ground-breaking. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:39, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
