A probabilistic reconstruction of Bronze Age (3200–1300 cal BC) demographic trends using a new data set of radiocarbon rates from across the Arabian Peninsula (n = 1280) is presented and a subset of dates (n = 288) from the Southeast (Oman and United Arab Emirates) is used. Using two different Bayesian modelling techniques to estimate growth rates, their changepoint and general fluctuations are assessed. The results from both models, although disagreeing about the magnitude of these trends, show clear evidence for steady and continual growth until the mid-Early Bronze Age. This is followed by a decline before the end of the third millennium, then growth until a peak in the Middle Bronze Age, before significant decline in the Late Bronze Age. These results are interpreted and contextualised in relation to possible drivers, including adaptions to climate and environmental changes, shifts in subsistence economies, increasing maritime and terrestrial trade, and the combination of long-term sedentary and mobile lifeways.","PeriodicalId":8124,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy","volume":"36 1","pages":"24-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aae.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145335626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the history of ceramic research in southeast Arabia, the modalities of the establishment and organisation of this craft are little known because of limited excavations, stratigraphy and dating. Bat and Bisya are among the largest and earliest oasis sites in this region. Taking advantage of excavations by the Bat Archaeological Project and the French Archaeological Mission in Central Oman, this paper provides the first extensive comparison of pottery assemblages from domestic and tower monument contexts from these sites. Pottery from securely dated contexts is examined through typological classification and contextual situation to determine the degree of standardisation and centralisation of the crafts. The results of this study provide novel insights on Umm an-Nar period pottery use patterns and related social–economic interaction networks in the Hajar mountains.","PeriodicalId":8124,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy","volume":"36 1","pages":"81-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aae.12270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145335627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these ‘cosmetic’ shells are primarily found in funerary contexts, their presence in residential areas suggests broader use within the community. Although relatively abundant, these shells have undergone limited chemical and mineralogical analysis, hindering a deeper understanding of their composition and production. This study presents the first archaeometric results from six marine shells excavated at Bronze and Iron Age sites in the Salūt and Bisya oasis (Sultanate of Oman). Chemical analyses reveal copper- and manganese-bearing minerals as the primary components of the greenish and blackish pigments, respectively. The presence of these minerals near the Salūt oasis suggests local pigment sources. This study represents the first step in a broader analytical programme aimed at the characterisation of samples from other archaeological sites of Southeast Arabia spanning over a wider chronological time frame.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8124,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy","volume":"36 1","pages":"70-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145335730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
