The interior of the Umm an-Nar tomb is divided into eight units, each of which contains a corbelled burial chamber. The floors inside the burial chambers are paved with stone blocks. Skeletal remains associated with Umm an-Nar type materials were encountered within the burial chambers. These finds included painted pottery, imported incised grey ware, soft stone vessels, personal items of jewellery and metal artifacts such as bronze knives and socketed spear heads.
