“…Les récits des explorateurs signalent que certains groupes tribaux étaient en Arabie traditionnellement spécialisés dans la pêche aux requins (Miles 1919; Thomas 1929). L’outre en peau d’ovicapriné (aujourd’hui supplantée par la chambre à air de pneu), a longtemps été employée comme embarcation, une fois gonflée d’air, notamment pour la pêche au requin le long de la Mer d’Arabie.…”

“…These 200-300 people are the last speakers of one of the six pre-Islamic tongues that currently constitute the group of "South Arabian modern languages" (Simeone-Senelle, 2013). The tribe is above all traditionally involved in shark fishing (Thomas, 1929(Thomas, , 1931, particularly at Sharbithat. The 14 km of Sharbithat Bay are an exceptional window on the maritime prehistory of Arabia.…”

A mega-tooth belonging to a Miocene fossil shark was discovered along the shores of the Arabian Sea inside one of the Neolithic domestic settlements at Sharbithat (SHA-10) (Sultanate of Oman). Attributed to a representative of the extinct genus Otodus (Megaselachus), this tooth is the first ever discovered in the Arabian Peninsula. In the field, research permitted the localization and study, a few kilometres away, of the palaeontological deposit where this retrieval was made. The shark, traditionally extensively hunted on the shores of the Arabian Sea, is well attested in the region's Neolithic ichthyological assemblages. Moreover, during this period, some groups of seaborne hunters were specialized in this form of fishing, which was indeed quite dangerous. But why did an individual some 5,500 years ago collect this curio, an unusual fossil, but also one he could easily recognize? The fossils of large sharks sometimes played an important part in ancient societies. Could this also have been

“…Trilith clusters sometimes occur together with various ancillary stone structures such as cairn tombs, stone circles or boulders with engravings. Triliths have been archaeologically recorded in Ḥaḍramawt and the al-Mahra Governorates of Yemen (Dostal 1968;Rougeulle 1999;Bin 'Aqil and McCorriston 2009;McCorriston et al 2011), and in the Ẓufār Governorate (Thomas 1929a(Thomas , 1929bThesiger 1946;al-Shahri 1991;Zarins 2001;Newton and Zarins 2010;Harrower et al 2014;McCorriston et al 2014), al-Wusṭā Governorate (Jagher and Pümpin 2010;Jagher et al 2011;Genchi et al 2016Genchi et al , 2017Garba et al 2019Garba et al , 2020, and Ash Sharqiyah Governorates of Oman (de Cardi et al 1977: 26-32;Doe 1977;al-Jahwari 2013al-Jahwari , 2018.

The New Radiocarbon Dataset for Trilith Monuments of Southeastern Arabia

et al. 2020

Triliths are megalithic monuments scattered across the coastal plains of southern and southeastern Arabia. They consist of aligned standing stones with a parallel row of large hearths and form a space, the meaning of which is undoubtedly significant but nonetheless still unknown. This paper presents a new radiocarbon (14C) dataset acquired during the two field seasons 2018–2019 of the TSMO (Trilith Stone Monuments of Oman) project which investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of the triliths. The excavation and sampling of trilith hearths across Oman yielded a dataset of 30 new 14C dates, extending the use of trilith monuments to as early as the Iron Age III period (600–300 BC). The earlier dates are linked to two-phase trilith sites in south-central Oman. The three 14C pairs collected from the two-phase trilith sites indicated gaps between the trilith construction phases from 35 to 475 years (2 σ). The preliminary spatio-temporal analysis shows the geographical expansion of populations using trilith monuments during the 5th to 1st century BC and a later pull back in the 1st and 2nd century AD. The new 14C dataset for trilith sites will help towards a better understanding of Iron Age communities in southeastern Arabia.
