Material from Bi'r Hamad, one of the most important pre‐Islamic settlements in the deserted area between Shabwa (capital of the ancient Hadramawt Kingdom) and the internal regions of the ancient state (Wâdī Hadramawt), is published here for the first time. Pottery and other surface finds allow us to establish the approximate chronological limits of occupation at this ancient Hadramawt town.
