The dissertation was a descriptive and comparative archaeological study of several sites in Dhamri region, historically known as Abwan (currently Qasr Al-Sabaya), Nakbam (currently Hisn Jashayesh), Al-Ahjer Al-Qadim (Bani Bada), Ta\u2019arman (currently Bayt Dhiba\u2019an), Bani Hayyan, and Bayt Abu Atif. Dhamri region lies south of Sana\u2019a and north of Dhamar city. It is administratively divided between Al-Hada\u2019a District of Dhamar Governorate and Bilad Al-Rus District of Sana\u2019a Governorate.<\/h3>\n

The study aimed to uncover the archaeological sites and identify the material remains and physical evidence they contain. A key objective was to produce a scientific and historical record that sheds light on Dhamri in its northern (Al-Jarti<\/em>) and southern (Al-Dharanhi<\/em>) sectors. It also sought to systematically study and survey all the archaeological sites in the region.<\/h3>\n

The dissertation examined six archaeological sites\u2014 Abu’an, Nakbam, Al-Ahjer Al-Qadim, Ta’arman, Bani Hayyan, and Bayt Abu Atif\u2014with a focus on highlighting their layouts, which include fortifications, palaces, temples, and surrounding architectural structures and annexes, such as public and private dwellings, water facilities, rock-cut tombs, roads, and other features.<\/h3>\n

The study yielded several key findings summarized as follows:<\/h3>\n
