Archaeological excavations were carried out at al-Qisha, located on the Wadi Masila in the Mahra region of the Republic of Yemen. Situated along the Northern Indian Ocean coast, the Wadi Masila is an integral part of the Hadramaut drainage system located within the geological Hadramaut Arch. Regional surveys were carried out between 1997-2000, defining Bronze and Iron Age and Islamic period sites. Al-Qisha is an Islamic period settlement site that spans over 1 km and includes an extensive village (part of which is still inhabited), a cemetery, and a mosque. Other research of the Islamic period in this region has focused on large port sites, such as Hairidj, Sharma and al-Shihr. The al-Qisha excavations, however, provide a unique opportunity to begin exploring local trade and habitation patterns. Local and imported wares are discussed, and are divided into four archaeological phases spanning the 9th century CE to the present. An interdisciplinary approach, incorporating archaeological, historical and ethnographic sources, is employed to gain valuable insights on the complex historic relationships between regional settled and nomadic populations. For example, historical documents and ethnographic research define many key pilgrimage (ziyara) and trade routes leading to Qabr Hud, a major shrine in the Hadramaut. The Ba'Abbad of al-Qisha, also associated with Qabr Hud, provide security and serve as mediators of tribal disputes of settled Hadramis, Mahra and Bedouin. Such sanctuaries, or hawtahs, also served as vital commercial centers in an otherwise unstable political environment. Al-Qisha as an archaeological site is enmeshed in an historical and ethnographic landscape of trade and mediation, and as an extension of Qabr Hud is one example of "hawtah" get to market.
