Figure 9: Site JW2298 on Farasan Island. This site makes a useful case study; the top left image shows the stratigraphy, dominated by shell-fish to a depth of 2m (Image credit: Casey Beresford). The lower left image shows the proximity of the site to the palaeoshoreline, in this case expressed as a cliff (Image credit: Bernie Larsen). The top right image is a Google Earth image, where the excavation is visible in the centre of the image; the palaeoshoreline is also visible by the shadow it casts (Image credit: Google Earth 2014f). Lower right image of the site is taken from a drone (person top centre for scale) (Image credit: N. Hausmann).
