This paper focuses on early agricultural implements in eastern Arabia, examining four hoe blades and an ard share ranging in date from mid‐2nd millennium B.C. through the Seleucid or Parthian period. These objects are considered in light of more recent ethnohistoric evidence pertaining to garden cultivation by hand and the plough in the region.
