Archaeologists discover Abbasid coin in Al-Ahsa

RIYADH: The Heritage Commission has concluded its second archaeological season at Ra’s Qurayyah Port in Al-Ahsa governorate, Eastern Province, uncovering 147 diverse architectural units, including large courtyards and ancient wells.

Located 26 km northwest of Al-Uqair Port, the site yielded significant artifacts, including an Abbasid dirham minted in 765 AD, bronze ornaments and glazed pottery, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Comparative analysis and organic sampling indicate the site’s timeline spans from the pre-Islamic era through the early Islamic period and into the late-10th century.

The discovery aligns with the national cultural strategy to document the Kingdom’s tangible heritage and strengthen its scientific and historical presence globally.
