Man either settled this area before desertification time, or during
climate tremendous changes which ended up with the large spread of desert
through the region. It is believed that such natural transformation was the main
reason for man to live in this area, practicing agriculture and animal
husbandry.
Archeological items of different kinks and uses are spread all
over side's surface including arrow heads, precisely-made stone scrapers similar
to those man used during the Neolithic. The site "Al Magar Civilization" has
been named after Al Magar the present name of the location.
Several
statues of domesticated animals were found on the site, are believed to be part
of inhabitants' daily life. The animal included horses, sheep, goats, Saluki
dogs, ostriches, falcons, and fish.
Gathered material and results of
carbon-dating test indicated that the Neolithic was the last period in which man
had lived in this site before 9000 year ago, and to which date back stone tools
that were picked from site's surface.
