Abstract

In spring of 2016 the first field season of the Fujairah-German Archaeological Project (FGAP), a cooperation between the Fujairah Tourism & Antiquities Authority and the Orient Department of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, was carried out. The aim was to conduct a joint reappraisal work at the site of Qidfa 3 in the Emirate of Fujairah (UAE) since the results of the former archaeological investigations were not published and the importance of that 2nd millennium site was therefore never promoted.
