The first day was allocated for male students, while the second day was designated for female students.  For the first time in history, students participated in excavations on a site that dates to the Iron Age, approximately 3,000 years ago, exposing our students to ancient Oman heritage including residential structures and burial sites, especially children\u2019s tombs, rare in the Arabian Peninsula. The field visit included a guided tour, learning about tools and techniques, methods of documentation, analyzing archaeological discoveries, observation of the burial sites and ancient artifacts collected from the site. The program also included practical workshops for students to examine and analyze artifacts, including studying bone remains and other artifacts. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of efforts to strengthen community partnerships and instill awareness of Oman\u2019s rich heritage among younger generations, Ahmed Bin Majid International School organized an innovative excavation project to the &#8220;Manaqi Archaeological Site Research Project &#8221;
