“…Against this background a few major statements can be made: all investigated soils outside of the oasis were formed in the wet early Holocene -no mid-Holocene soil has been found to date. In contrast, a buried soil below irrigation sediments within an oasis exists, which began to form at the earliest about 3500 bc and until 2500 bc (Kühn et al, 2010). This supports the results of geoarchaeological and climate-oriented soil and sediment investigations in other regions of Yemen (Brinkmann 1996a;De Maigret et al, 1989;Fedele, 1988;Ghaleb, 1990;Lezine et al, 1998Lezine et al, , 2007Parker et al, 2006b;Wilkinson, 1997).…”

“…The decrease in water availability may have hit also Northern Oman, thus pushing local communities, which were intensively cultivating the area as confirmed by microscopic evidence in buried soils, to introduce some system for water procurement and management (but not yet the falaj technology). The introduction of some kind of irrigation facilities in the Bronze Age is confirmed by field evidence in the area of Salut and recently described also in the Ma'rib oasis of Yemen (Kühn et al, 2010).…”

“…However, although it is widely accepted that agriculture has been fundamental in the history of local societies, oases themselves have rarely been explored through their soils in this region. In Arabia, geoarchaeology and archaeo‐pedology of agricultural terraces have been developed in Yemen over the past 40 years (Kühn et al, 2010; Pietsch & Kühn, 2017; Pietsch & Mabit, 2012; Pietsch et al, 2010; Wilkinson, 1997, 2005) and in some regions of Oman (Cremaschi et al, 2018; Desruelles et al, 2016; Nagieb et al, 2004; Siebert et al, 2005), whereas only localised studies in the UAE have focussed on ancient agricultural landscapes (Cordoba, 2013) and rarely those interested in the long‐term use of soils (Power & Sheehan, 2011) and their characteristics.…”
