Where have Stone Age settlements been found on the Arabian Peninsula?

Stone Age settlements on the Arabian Peninsula, specifically those associated with fishermen and shellfish eaters dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE, have been identified on the northeast coast of the peninsula as well as on the islands of Bahrain and Faylakah.1

Beyond these specific settlements, evidence of Stone Age activity is widespread across the region. Surface scatters of flint implements have been discovered in many locations throughout the peninsula. Additionally, numerous ancient rock drawings—which are difficult to date but are believed to be prehistoric—are found across the landscape, providing further evidence of early human presence in the area.12
