The Saudi Heritage Commission has formed a new relationship with Kanazawa University of Japan to conduct archaeological surveys at prehistoric sites in the Al-Jouf and Tabuk regions.
Dr. Jasser Al-Harbash, CEO of the Heritage Commission, attended the signing ceremony held at the commission’s headquarters in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter.
This collaboration is part of the commission’s strategic initiatives to widen the scope of its archaeological fieldwork throughout Saudi Arabia, to gather and analyse more scientific data concerning the region’s prehistoric past.
The partnership’s focus will be on understanding the pastoral patterns that may have existed in Al-Jouf and Tabuk through substantial scientific fieldwork.
The agreement also calls for the broad distribution of findings from archaeological surveys and excavations and aims to bring distinguished scientific expertise to the Kingdom, bolstering its archaeological and heritage sectors.
