It is not clear if it is only the Nubia Formation sandstone that underlies the dunes or whether there are also surface washes that precede dune formation as at Site E-91-1. The dunes must have already formed by ca. 9350 bp as indicated by the radiocarbon date (SMU-200) from one of the trenches excavated in 1974, as well as by the presence of EI Adam Early Neolithic variant in the topmost section of the dune at Sites E-75-9, E-91-3 and E-91-4. Deposition of littoral sediments and lacustrine, playa silts follows the stabilization of the dunes.
The majority of the ages fit the cultural association of the anthropogenic deposits with Al Jerar variant of the later Early Neolithic. There are, however, two samples which seem to be slightly younger as well as a few that are considerably later than Al Jerar variant. The latest date (GD-16009) comes from a hearth cut into the topmost beach sand infill of the (apparently) Al Jerar house dated to 6800 bp ± 330 years (Gd-16007) on residual charcoal. Two other ages, 7050 bp ± 120 years (Gd-15031) and 5470 bp ± 110 (Gd-1S021), were obtained from charcoal samples from a bell-shaped pit that cut through the already deflated soil in the North Trench in Area 16.
