Peter Hellyer, my former boss and long time friend in the UAE passed away on 2 July 2023. My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends. He made an immense contribution to the UAE, a country he loved so much. I learnt a lot from him during the time we worked together for the Abu Dhabi Islands Archaeological Survey (ADIAS) from 1994 up until 2006. Peter you will be missed but not forgotten. Your legacy remains in the numerous publications and the fact that many of the well known archaeological sites discovered in Abu Dhabi were first brought to light by the work carried out by the ADIAS team are now preserved today as internationally important heritage sites.<\/span>You can read some of the obituaries written about him on the following links:<\/p>\n
