Al-Thuqaibah, a sprawling Iron Age II settlement spanning 1000 to 600 BCE, lies south of Dhaid at the southernmost tip of the Al Madam oasis in Sharjah Emirate's central region, United Arab Emirates. Over three decades, archaeological teams from Sharjah, France, and Spain have tirelessly investigated this site, unearthing mud-brick houses, lush gardens, and irrefutable evidence of ancient mud-brick manufacture. Hundreds of remarkably preserved footprints remain at the bottom of small basins, a testament to the lives of people who once called Al-Thuibaah home. The Global Digital Heritage team has utilized cutting-edge high-resolution scanning and photogrammetry techniques to meticulously document these basins and their preserved features, including basin 36, which has been painstakingly processed in Reality Capture from an impressive 272 images.
