An archaeological discovery in the Khyber oasis in Saudi Arabia is changing the old concepts about the pastoral situation in the Bronze Age, and this discovery is the first of its kind in the region through the village of "Al-Natina", which highlights the social and economic life during that era.

The discovery of the "Natina" is evidence of a clear division within the forts and cities of residential and funerary areas, which date back to about 2400-2000 BC and up to 1500-1300 BC, with a population of 500 people within an area of 2.6 hectares.
