An Udjat-eye amulet discovered at Dibbā al-Bayah (Sultanate of Oman): Long-distance trade relations in the Late Pre-Islamic burial chamber of the LCG-2 tomb
The Udjat or “Eye of Horus” is universally known as one of the most powerful and popular Egyptian amulets. Its protective and regenerative properties made it an amulet that was widely used in funerary settings, but also worn by the living in daily life. The use of such amulets spread from Egypt to the whole of the Levant and, in later times, it also reached the Western Mediterranean and ancient Persia. Despite this widespread use, Udjat eye attestations in the Arabian Peninsula are extremely scarce, and have been limited so far to Saudi Arabia only. This paper discusses the first Udjat amulet discovered in the Sultanate of Oman, which was excavated in a Late Pre-Islamic tomb at Dibbā al-Bayah, whose funerary paraphernalia are as a whole outstanding in their variety and manufacture, testifying to the international nature of trades linked to the port of Dibbā.
期刊介绍:
Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
