Al Da'asa

Al Da'asa extends along Qatar's shoreline containing multiple excavation areas with stone tools, pottery fragments, and ancient hearth structures scattered across the terrain.

Danish archaeological teams discovered this site in 1961, uncovering sixty hearths and numerous artifacts dating back to the Ubaid period of ancient Mesopotamian civilization.

The excavated materials, including painted pottery fragments and a carnelian bead, indicate connections between early Qatar inhabitants and other societies across the Arabian Gulf.

The site lies near the industrial city of Dukhan, with archaeological remains spread across multiple zones that researchers continue to study and document.

Researchers identified post holes suggesting temporary dwellings and separate cooking areas for different families, indicating a structured seasonal settlement pattern.
