“…This situation is likely to have resulted from the coastal location of the site. Both Edens (306) and Franke-Vogt (307) note that Harappan interaction with coastal settlements was of a different nature than the Harappan influence seen in settlements of the interior, with coastal settlements more likely to have experienced direct contact (308). If such a differentiation in contact patterns existed with the other tin-bronzeusing cultures to the west and north of the Oman peninsula, the disparity in tin use between Tell Abraq and the settlements of the interior may be more explicable.…”
