S’appuyant principalement sur les données produites dans les années 1980-1990 par des chercheurs saoudiens, il présente les limites de ces approches archéologiques mais également ce qu’elles apportent à notre connaissance des structures hydrauliques le long de ces routes. Cet article explore les aspects fonctionnels de ces haltes dans leur rapport à l’eau, abordant les questions d’approvisionnement, de gestion et de contrôle de l’eau.
This paper addresses the issue of water resource management along the caravan routes of the Arabian Peninsula in the early Islamic period, and more particularly from the second half of the 8th century onwards. Based mainly on data produced in the 1980s and 1990s by Saudi researchers, it presents the limitations of these archaeological approaches but also the way in which they contribute to our knowledge of the hydraulic structures along these routes. This study explores the functional aspects of these halts in their relationship to water, addressing issues of water supply, management and control.

The cross-referencing of survey and remote sensing data, architectural examinations and the dating of stratified contexts have revealed a rampart initially some 14.5 km long, generally between 1.70 m and 2.40 m thick, reinforced by 180 bastions. Preserved today over just under half of the original route (41 %, 5.9 km and 74 bastions), this rampart dates back to the Bronze Age, between 2250 and 1950 BCE, and had never been detected before due to the profound reworking of the local desert landscape over time. This crucial discovery confirms the rise of a walled oasis complex in northern Arabia during the Bronze Age, a trend that proved to be central to the creation of indigenous social and political complexity.
