Wabar Site

WABAR SITE consists of three craters and a sprinkling of two unusual types of rock--black glass and "impactite." Much of the site has been buried by the ever shifting sand dunes. It is located deep in the uninhabited Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia, or the Rub' al-Khali; the authors' expeditions there took two different routes (map).
