“…During recent excavations, a division of the city into different quarters has clearly emerged. There was a residential quarter, a religious area, and a commercial district (Avanzini & Sedov, ; Avanzini, , ). An extra muros temple is still visible in the western part of the city, near the shore of the lagoon (Pavan & Sedov ).…”

The city of Sumhuram (300 BC-AD 500) is the most important pre-Islamic settlement in Dhofar, southern Oman. Since the time of its discovery it was evident that its commercial vocation placed it within a complex system of exchange between India and the Mediterranean. Sumhuram was a key site of the kingdom of Hadramawt, built in a place that was geographically strategic to control the most important Indian Ocean trade routes. The importance of the site made the bead assemblage exceptionally rich in materials, technologies used in the production, and provenance. The study of the relationship between materials and shapes, necessary for the creation of a specific typology, has revealed a number of trends. These, in connection with the reference stratigraphy have, in some cases, enabled the identification of differences on a chronological basis. Furthermore, it is possible to detect different uses of materials in different areas of the city. The variety of imported products (raw materials and products) once again underlines the importance of this city-port in the international maritime trade and its strong connections with India.

A few decades later, Sumhuram became the focus of extensive archaeological investigations conducted by the Italian Mission to Oman (IMTO, University of Pisa), headed by Prof. A. Avanzini, in collaboration with the Office of the Adviser to His Majesty the Sultan for Cultural Affairs (Muscat-Salalah, Sultanate of Oman). Over this long period, the layout of the town has been largely revealed, and a main chronological phasing established, which in terms of absolute dates covers a period from the early second century BC to the fifth century AD (Avanzini, 2008; 2017; Buffa, 2019; Pavan & Degli Esposti, 2016) with a highly probable later occupation distinguished by ephemeral dwellings dated to the Late Antiquity and the Early Islamic period. Sumhuram was founded as a distant colony by the kingdom of Ḥaḍramawt, the capital town of which, Shabwa, sits
