    Location of Hili Archaeological Park in United Arab Emirates

    Hili Archaeological Park (Arabic: حَدِيْقَة آثَار ٱلْهِيْلِي, romanizedḤadīqat Āthar Al-Hīlī) is the location of a Bronze Age site in Al Ain, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates.[1]

    Description and history[edit]

    Hili is the largest Bronze Age site in the UAE and dates from the 3rd millennium BCE. Other remains include settlements, tombs, and a falaj dating from the Iron Age. Some of the site is located outside the park in a protected area. Finds from the site can be seen in the Al Ain National Museum in central Al Ain. The Hili Grand Tomb is a tower measuring 12 m (39 ft) in diameter that has been reconstructed.[2] The tombs belong to the Umm al-Nar culture.

    In May 2019 the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture & Tourism reported that fingerprints about 3000 years old were found at Hili II. They apparently belonged to craftsmen who constructed a wall at the site.[3][4][5]
