Surveys by the French Archaeological Mission in Jawf-?a?ramawt (1992-1993) documented prehistoric and protohistoric sites along the palaeo-river. Despite informal data, findings offer insights into Yemen’s archaeological map, including prehistoric, Bronze Age, and South Arabian sites, and inscriptions amid changes to the modern landscape.

Les prospections menees par la Mission archeologique francaise dans le Jawf-Hadramawt en 1992 et 1993 avaient pour finalite de mettre en place des programmes de recherche sur des thematiques specifiques, dont certains ont pu etre menes, en particulier sur la prehistoire et la protohistoire du paleo-cours Jawf-Hadramawt. Aujourd’hui, la documentation qui avait ete reunie par les differents membres de la mission et conservee dans les archives, constitue une source primaire de donnees que la situation du Yemen justifie de publier, malgre l’etat tres informel des donnees. La situation securitaire du pays, la remise en culture de grandes etendues des territoires agricoles antiques, l’extension de l’habitat au cours des 30 dernieres annees, ont considerablement bouleverse les secteurs explores. Cette documentation apporte de nouveaux elements a la carte archeologique du Yemen, pour les regions d’al-‘Abr, du wadi Markha, de Shabwa, et la partie occidentale du wadi hadramawt de Bi’r hamad au wadi Sar. Des sites prehistoriques ont ete cartographies, ainsi que de nombreux monuments funeraires megalithiques, des habitats ont ete identifies comme pouvant remonter a l’age du Bronze et certains sites de la periode sudarabique presentent des caracteristiques qui n’ont pas d’equivalent dans les inventaires connus. L’inventaire des sites est complete par une etude des inscriptions decouvertes et la presentation d’une statue-menhir montree a des membres de la mission en 1996 dans la region littorale de Balhaf.
