Added a new page with Multimedia links to videos made during the period that the Abu Dhabi islands Archaeological Survey (ADIAS) operated between 1992 to 2006, as well as more recent videos that specifically relate to some of the archaeological and palaeontological sites that were first discovered by the ADIAS team.

I decided to establish this website as an archive of the work carried out by the former Abu Dhabi Islands Archaeological Survey (ADIAS). The old ADIAS website (www.adias-uae.com) ceased to exist after the sad demise of the late Peter Hellyer, Executive Director of ADIAS, in July 2023, and then the late Dr Geoffrey King, Academic Director of ADIAS, in March 2025.
This website has been re-established as a tribute to them but also as a means of archiving the past work of the Abu Dhabi Islands Archaeological Survey. It also provides a platform highlighting subsequent and recent archaeological research and fieldwork specifically relating to sites first discovered and worked on by the ADIAS team. It is still work in progress, but I will continue to update it in the future when I have time.
