遥感在考古研究中的应用有助于更好地了解古代和现代南阿拉伯半岛的地理。这五个主要地区的定居和耕作条件进行了讨论。一项来自奥山王国中心地带的案例研究表明，在Wādāmarha的下部，灌溉始于公元前第三个千年的后半期，而在公元前第一个千年的前半期已经结束。夏甲耶希尔的巨大告诉似乎已经在同一时间被摧毁，而在干河的灌溉和定居点的上部继续到公元一世纪。在空中拍摄的照片上，可以发现和定位十几个古代定居点。因此，可以认为夏甲耶希尔是奥山的首都所在地。古代南阿拉伯王国的首都都位于沿着最常去的骆驼路线--香路。对阿拉伯费利克斯和新月沃地的气候条件和灌溉农业进行比较，可以看出阿拉伯半岛这两个富饶地区之间转让专门知识的困难。
The use of remote sensing in archaeological research leads to a better understanding of the geography of ancient and modern South Arabia. The five main regions are discussed in relation to the conditions for settlement and farming. A case study from the heartland of the Kingdom of Awsān indicates in the lower part of Wādī Marha beginning of irrigation in the second half of the third millenium and an end already in the first half of the first millenium BC. The huge tell of Hagar Yahirr seems to have been destroyed at the same time, whereas in the upper part of the wadi irrigation and settlements continue till the first centuries AD. On aerial pictures a dozen ancient settlements could be detected and located. Consequently, it may be suggested that Hagar Yahirr is the site of the capital city of Awsān. The capitals of the ancient South Arabian kingdoms were all located along the most frequented camel route, the incense road. A comparison of the climatic conditions and the irrigation agriculture of Arabia Felix and the Fertile Crescent shows the difficulties of the transfer of know-how between these two fertile and rich regions on the Arabian Peninsula.
