How did you find this area? Were you accompanied by someone from Saudi during the project?

Our project performed remote sensing(satellite imagery survey) and helicopter aerial photography of thousands of sites in the region. The site we excavated was then visited on the ground by 4x4 and subsequently selected to be excavated.
We have had a lot of Saudi students be mentored by us during our seasons. The article also was co-written by an academic at a local University.
