Abstract

Significant changes in the material culture, subsistence and mode of life are associated with the Middle (c. 2000–1600 BCE) and Late Bronze Ages (c. 1600–1300 BCE) in Eastern Arabia. Since first excavations in the 1970s, research has focused on the United Arab Emirates, where all major sites of this period known to date are situated. This birthed the idea of two different lines of development in the second millennium BC. While a more gradual change is assumed for the United Arab Emirates, Central Oman was regarded as having completely abandoned settled agricultural life, returning to a less complex social organisation. This article presents new evidence from Tawi Said, Al-Mudhairib and the Wilayat al-Mudhaybi that shows that the developments in both regions were more akin to each other than previously assumed. This encourages us to reconsider our assumptions about Central Oman’s social complexity during this pivotal period of Oman’s history.

阿曼中部青铜器时代中晚期:来自Tawi Said, Al-Mudhairib和Wilayat al-Mudhaybi的新见解
物质文化、生存和生活方式的重大变化与阿拉伯东部的中期(公元前2000-1600年)和青铜时代晚期(公元前1600-1300年)有关。自20世纪70年代首次发掘以来,研究一直集中在阿拉伯联合酋长国,迄今为止已知的这一时期的所有主要遗址都位于那里。这在公元前2000年催生了两种不同发展路线的想法。虽然阿拉伯联合酋长国的变化较为缓慢,但中阿曼被认为完全放弃了定居的农业生活,回归到一个不那么复杂的社会组织。本文提出了来自Tawi Said, Al-Mudhairib和Wilayat al-Mudhaybi的新证据,这些证据表明,这两个地区的发展比以前认为的更加相似。这促使我们在阿曼历史的关键时期重新考虑我们对阿曼中部社会复杂性的假设。
