H3, Archaeological excavation site in Subiya Region, Kuwait.

The H3 site spans an area of 90 by 80 meters on a low peninsula north of Kuwait Bay, containing stone structures and scattered artifacts.

Excavations between 1998 and 2004 revealed settlements from the Ubaid period, dating back to approximately 5500-5324 BC in the northern Persian Gulf.

The location served as a meeting point between Mesopotamian and Arabian Neolithic communities, evidenced by pottery styles and trade materials found on site.

Visitors can observe visible architectural remains, pottery fragments, and stone foundations that demonstrate early settlement patterns in the Persian Gulf region.

The site contains the oldest evidence of maritime activities in Western Asia, including a ceramic boat model and bitumen pieces used for waterproofing vessels.
