Excavations were conducted in 1989 at Tell Abraq, a stratified mound in the United Arab Emirates, by a team from the University of Copenhagen. An occupational sequence running from the early third millennium through the Iron Age was revealed. This is the first time that a continuous stratigraphie sequence for this period has been found in the Oman peninsula. Many objects of great interest (e.g. two Harappan weights, two cylinder seals, soft-stone vessel fragments, painted pottery) attest to the importance of the site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
