Rumailah, UAE
Rumailah (Arabic: ٱلرٌّمَيْلَة) is an archaeological site in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, the U.A.E., as well as the site of a thick-walled coral and adobe fort, thought to date to the early 20th century. Located 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) west of Hili Archaeological Park, the rectangular mound at Rumailah is thought to have been home to populations dating back to the late Umm Al Nar period, yielding buildings and artefacts from a more recent, major Iron Age II settlement dated from around 1,100–500 BCE. == Archaeology == Finds at Rumailah include distinctive pottery adorned with snake patterns, similar to finds at Qusais and Masafi and the major Iron and Bronze Age metallurgical production centre at Saruq Al Hadid, as well as chlorite vessels decorated with turtles alternating with trees, similar to finds from Qidfa' in Fujairah, Qusais in Dubai and Al-Hajar in Bahrain.
