Buur Heybe (original) (raw)
Buur Heybe, which translates to "The Hill of the Potter's Sand", is a late Pleistocene and Holocene archaeological complex located in the largest granite inselberg in the inter-riverine region of the southern Bay province of Somalia approximately 180 km northwest of the capital Mogadishu. Buur Heybe has a longstanding history of archaeological research dating back to the 1930s when Paolo Graziosi carried out the first professional archaeological excavation in Somalia in the rockshelter site of Gogoshiis Qabe in Buur Heybe. Further excavations by J. Desmond Clark in the 1950s and later by the Buur Ecological and Archaeological Project (BEAP) led by Steven Brandt in the 1980s have made Buur Heybe one of the best dated and closely studied archaeological sites in Somalia.

| dbo:abstract | Der Buur Heybe (weitere Schreibweisen: Bur Eibe, Heibi u. a.) ist der größte von zahlreichen Inselbergen aus Granit im Gebiet Doi oder Dooy in der Region Bay im Süden Somalias und eine bedeutende archäologische Fundstätte. Er liegt nordöstlich der Stadt Buurhakaba. Der Name bedeutet so viel wie „Tonsand-Berg“ und verweist auf die Vorkommen von Ton in der Umgebung, die zur Töpferei genutzt werden. Um den Buur Eybe leben die Eyle, traditionell Jäger und Sammler, heute als Bauern und Viehzüchter, Teilzeit-Jäger und Töpfer. Ihretwegen wird der Berg auch Buur Eyle genannt. Ihre wichtigste Ortschaft ist Berdaale, weitere Dörfer sind Muuney und Howaal Dheeri. Regen, der vom Berg abfließt, sammelt sich in künstlichen Becken wie auch in natürlichen Quellen, Zisternen und Bassins und bildet somit eine der wenigen ganzjährigen Wasserquellen in der Region. Auch die Fauna und Flora ist wesentlich reichhaltiger als in der Umgebung, womit der Buur Heybe wichtige Ressourcen bietet. Der italienische Archäologe Paolo Graziosi entdeckte 1935 das mit prähistorischen Malereien versehene Felsdach Gogoshiis Qabe und führte dort die erste professionelle Ausgrabung im heutigen Somalia durch. Dabei kam eine kontinuierliche Abfolge von Schichten aus dem Middle Stone Age und Late Stone Age mit zahlreichen Artefakten und tierischen Überresten zum Vorschein. John Desmond Clark befasste sich 1954 ebenfalls mit Buur Heybe. Weitere Untersuchungen wurden in den 1980er Jahren im Rahmen des Buur Ecological and Archaeological Project (BEAP) unter Steven Brandt durchgeführt. Hierbei wurden Skelette oder Skelettreste von 14 Menschen gefunden. Neun davon wurden aufgrund von Untersuchungen des enthaltenen Apatits auf 8100–5400 Before Present datiert.

Excavations in the Buur Region ended abruptly in 1989 as the encroaching Somali Civil War threatened to engulf southern Somalia, although plans were made by BEAP to return to the Buur Region in 1990, the collapse of the Somali government effectively ended all archaeological research in Southern and Central Somalia to this day. Furthermore, as war consumed Mogadishu the Somali National Museum was looted resulting in the destruction of all BEAP archaeological collections which included soil samples, lithics, and human skeletons from Buur Heybe and Guli Waabayo. Fortunately for archaeologists, the Somali Academy of Science granted BEAP approval to export much of the faunal, shell, lithic, and pottery collections from Gogoshiis Qabe, Guli Waabayo and Rifle Range Site to three United States universities prior to the collapse of the Somali government. These collections were originally curated at the University of Florida, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. However, currently the majority of archaeological collections that were originally exported during the Somali Civil War are being curated at the University of Florida. (en) |
