Tombstones made of Mangabi stone, marble, and granite were found at different locations within Jeddah.
The archaeological survey and excavations yielded significant findings, including 11,405 pottery shards weighing 293kg.
Some of the pieces were made in the Chinese province of Jiangxi and date back to the 16th-19th centuries, while older pottery fragments were from the Abbasid era.
The excavation revealed the historical significance of four locations: Othman bin Affan mosque, Al Shona, a segment of the Northern Wall, and Al Kidwah.
