The Heritage Authority discovered more than 1,700 artifacts at the archaeological site of Miqat Al-Juhfa in collaboration with the University of Exeter in Britain. The findings included pottery, glass, stone pieces, shells, and handcrafted items. The results also revealed the discovery of six pottery kilns and a water canal, in addition to 13 tombstones from the Umayyad and Abbasid eras. Juhfa is located 187 kilometers northwest of Mecca. It was a significant focal point during the early period of Islamic history, witnessing prosperity and the presence of water facilities and services since the second century AH.
