Résumé En

Desert kites are massive hunting traps found in the Near and Middle East, which have sparked significant research interest. Their numbers and geographical distribution were largely unknown until about a decade ago. This dataset provides the locations of all identified kites, along with detailed morphological information for a sample representing approximately 10% of them. It also includes data on other huntingrelated structures within the same geographical region. These data were gathered through the analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery and are organized into feature classes. The dataset is available at the Zenodo repository under an open-access license. It can support a wide range of spatial analyses, including investigations into the morphological diversity of the traps, their environmental contexts, and potential connections with other archaeological data.
