Adaptation to drought, this is something that I found in a place where so many acacia trees flourish. In fact, almost all the bushes there thorny. That place is where I run one of research in history, because the area had been a settlement of in the days of maritime merchants.

It is difficult when I had to pass through the thorn bushes to reach a site location. Many parts of the body is scratched and torn clothes. At first I wondered why almost of all plants here thorny, and after recalling the basic things in science, so I understand that condition. It turned out that a thorn for the bush was how it is maintains viability. Does not end there, I even began to feel its beauty.

From there, the question arises in my mind, how the people who lived in ancient times in that place to defend themselves from the drought? Naturally, they have a certain way, and that will become part of my research project.
