%X Work begun in 2004 continued on the spacious himyarite so-called Stone Building, on the south-western flank of the Husn Raydan mountain. In the ruined city, this is the first fairly intact building to come to light, an ashlar structure surrounding a stone-paved courtyard. Goals included locating the exterior walls, the investigation immediately to the north and the clearing of the courtyard. This year, we cleared the south-eastern part of the courtyard. Our project emphasizes the little-known latter part of late antiquity in a field of study but one hardly developed in South Arabia.
