Seasonal offerings among the Minaeans. The case of ancient Yathil

The hypostyle hall of the Minaean temple Qabḍum in Barāqish (ancient Yathil), dedi- cated to ʿAthtar dhu-Qabḍ, is characterised by the presence of four long offertory tables that were discovered in situ in an overall good condition. This article presents an analysis of these objects together with their epigraphic material with the aim of better understand- ing the rituals that may have been connected to them.
