Jebel Faya Jebel Faya 1 is an archaeological site near Al-Madam, Sharjah Emirate, UAE. It is the world's most ancient settlement yet discovered of anatomically modern humans outside of Africa. ==Paleolithic settlements== Archaeologists found three different Paleolithic settlements which date from 125,000 years ago (125 kya) to 34,000 years ago (34 kya).〔(From the Trenches - New Evidence for Mankind's Earliest Migrations ) - ''Archaeology Magazine'' Archive〕 These indicate that early human groups were living around the Persian Gulf basin throughout the Late Pleistocene. Simon Armitage, Sabah A. Jasim, Anthony E. Marks, Adrian G. Parker, Vitaly I. Usik and published findings on three assemblages of stone tools from Jebel Faya in the January 2011 edition of the journal ''Science''. They argue that style of the tools indicate their makers were AMH. So, a migration of AMH from Africa populating Arabia took place during an interglacial period. They then became cut off from East African populations when the Sahara returned to desert conditions. Dating was accomplished by thermoluminescence dating of sand grains found buried with the tools. Furthermore, they argue that the site's population could have spread eastward across the southern coast of Asia, which "implies that AMH may have been present in South Asia before the Toba eruption."
