Chambered Tomb in United Arab Emirates
Tomb from the Umm an-Nar Period (2500-2000 BCE), at the eastern foot in the northern area of the Jebel Faya massif. The site was excavated in 2005.
The final of the three tombs at Jabel Faya is Tomb FAY-NE 22. Located 50m to the south of the two other tombs, this small circular semi-subterranean burial chamber measures 3.8m in diameter. The tomb is accessed via an entrance on the middle of the eastern side with two stone steps leading down to the burial chamber itself.
Although no human remains were discovered in FAY-NE 22, a number of funerary items were found, including two-socketed spear heads, bronze daggers and a copper razor.
