SHARJAH, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES—An archaeological site in central Sharjah has yielded axes, scrapers, and awls thought to be hundreds of thousands of years old. “The discovery of these tools will add valuable information to our records about the Stone Age in the emirate, and the early history of human groups and their predecessors in this region,” Sabah Jassim, head of the Department of Antiquities, told The National. Several of the tools will be analyzed and dated at Tübingen University in Germany. For more on early human discoveries in the Emirates, see "New Evidence for Mankind's Earliest Migrations."
