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

“…54; Williams & Gregoricka, 2016), whereby the tombs excavated on top of tower 1156 at Bat may also postdate the Wadi Suq period (Williams & Gregoricka, 2016: 308). So little has been published about the subterranean cists at Wadi Sahl that they can only generally be attributed to the second millennium BC (Vogt, 1985: 209).…”

“…Vogt dated a beaker with a pedestal from House 4 (Weisgerber, 1981: 194, Abb. 117.194) to the Wadi Suq period (Vogt, 1985: 225, table 104.221).

Prehistoric Metallurgy at Tell Abraq, U.A.E.1

“…Perhaps the most common metal artefacts of the Wadi Suq period known from funerary contexts across the Oman peninsula are tanged arrowheads with a pronounced, flattened midrib; a short, square-sectioned tang; and decoration in the form of engraved lines on the midrib (154). Examples are known from, among other places, Shimal (155), Khudra (156), Maysar 34, al-Qusais, Ghalilah and Bat (157). A number of foreign parallels for this type of arrowhead have been noted, particularly at second-millennium BC sites in western Iran (158).…”

A number of triangular, flat-sectioned copper or bronze swords are known from Qarn Bint Saud (160), al-Wasit (161), Qattarah and Bisyah (162) which seem to be characteristic of the Wadi Suq period. Other items of copper or bronze include a decorated strap-end from Shimal site 1 (163), and rivets, pins, needles, loops, flattened metal sheets, flat blade-like objects and a fishhook from Shimal site 2 (164).…”
