A Landscape of Pilgrimage and Trade in Wadi Masila, Yemen (British Archaeological Reports British Series)
Lynne S. Newton
This volume reports on excavations at the site of al-Qisha, an Islamic period settlement in the Mahra region of Yemen. In particular it examines the role of the village as a gateway community linked with the Ba'Abbad of Qabr Hud, the community which guarded the tomb of the prophet Hud, a site of pilgrimage. The presence of pilgrims encouraged the growth of trade and a market, and this trade and the landscape of pilgrim routes forms a further focus for the study.
