“…More second millennium tombs are known from different surveys (Fig. 1), especially the Wadi Andam Survey conducted by Nasser Al-Jahwari from 2004to 2006(Al-Jahwari, 2008 and the survey conducted by Jürgen Schreiber from 2004 to 2005 as part of the project "Transformation processes in oasis settlements of Oman" (Schreiber, 2007). Al-Jahwari grouped the Wadi Suq period and the Late Bronze Age together in his survey.…”

“…Further second millennium tombs might be hidden among the largely Samad period tombs of the Mahleya cemetery (site CS.2.50) as some second millennium surface finds of pottery sherds indicate (Al‐Jahwari, 2008: 510–513). An isolated cairn with four concentric walls at Siyudian (site CS.2.4) yielded twelve second millennium pottery sherds, a fragment of a soft‐stone vessel, a spindle whorl, three beads, a copper sheet, a copper pin as well as three fragmented shells (Al‐Jahwari, 2008: 490, pl. 482–486).…”

The Middle and Late Bronze Age in Central Oman: New Insights from Tawi Said, Al‐Mudhairib and the Wilayat al‐Mudhaybi

Significant changes in the material culture, subsistence and mode of life are associated with the Middle (c. 2000–1600 BCE) and Late Bronze Ages (c. 1600–1300 BCE) in Eastern Arabia. Since first excavations in the 1970s, research has focused on the United Arab Emirates, where all major sites of this period known to date are situated. This birthed the idea of two different lines of development in the second millennium BC. While a more gradual change is assumed for the United Arab Emirates, Central Oman was regarded as having completely abandoned settled agricultural life, returning to a less complex social organisation. This article presents new evidence from Tawi Said, Al‐Mudhairib and the Wilayat al‐Mudhaybi that shows that the developments in both regions were more akin to each other than previously assumed. This encourages us to reconsider our assumptions about Central Oman’s social complexity during this pivotal period of Oman’s history.

Google Earth and high-resolution satellite imagery provide a means of carrying out remote-sensing survey of Hafit tombs able to cover large areas in short periods of time. While the potential of such research has already been demonstrated in the W ad ı Andam area, the accuracy and precision of the methodology are not yet clear. A ground survey carried out by a Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) team in western Ja'alan provides an excellent control to assess the efficacy of the method. The study area was surveyed using Google Earth, and the two datasets were compared. Hafit tombs were identified to a high level of accuracy, but approximately 50% of the structures were not visible, with badly preserved tombs more likely to be missed than those in good condition. Remote sensing can be used in the preliminary stages of survey or more generally to discover and analyse broad patterns of Hafit tomb distribution. Comparisons of the distribution of Hafit tombs in western Ja'alan and W ad ı Andam reveal clear similarities: the structures occupy elevated positions adjacent to sizeable wadi channels. The density of tombs is much greater in the western Ja'alan study area, which may suggest that W ad ı Batha supported a larger Hafit population than W ad ı Andam.
