Итог: | This paper deals with the Solubba, a people who until recently were found in small groups over much of Arabia. They are essentially nonpastoralists living in a form of symbiosis with the bedouin tribes. They derived part of their livelihood from hunting, and with the virtual extinction of all the major game animals in northern Arabia they have now moved to small, semipermanent settlements on the borders of the steppe (Dostal 1956). They are of particular interest because several aspects of their lifestyle echo those of earlier historic and even prehistoric groups. This paper examines documentary evidence relating to the Solubba and discusses how such evidence may shed light on some aspects of Arabian history. |
