  • Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region C
    Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region c. 5000 BC to 676 AD D.T. Potts Introduction In a little more than 40 years the territory of the former Trucial States and modern United Arab Emirates (UAE) has gone from being a blank on the archaeological map of Western Asia to being one of the most intensively studied regions in the entire area. The present chapter seeks to synthesize the data currently available which shed light on the lifestyles, industries and foreign relations of the earliest inhabitants of the UAE. Climate and Environment Within the confines of a relatively narrow area, the UAE straddles five different topographic zones. Moving from west to east, these are (1) the sandy Gulf coast and its intermittent sabkha; (2) the desert foreland; (3) the gravel plains of the interior; (4) the Hajar mountain range; and (5) the eastern mountain piedmont and coastal plain which represents the northern extension of the Batinah of Oman. Each of these zones is characterized by a wide range of exploitable natural resources (Table 1) capable of sustaining human groups practising a variety of different subsistence strategies, such as hunting, horticulture, agriculture and pastoralism. Tables 2–6 summarize the chronological distribution of those terrestrial faunal, avifaunal, floral, marine, and molluscan species which we know to have been exploited in antiquity, based on the study of faunal and botanical remains from excavated archaeological sites in the UAE. Unfortunately, at the time of writing the number of sites from which the inventories of faunal and botanical remains have been published remains minimal.

  • MOBILITY, EXCHANGE, and TOMB MEMBERSHIP in BRONZE AGE ARABIA: a BIOGEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial F
    MOBILITY, EXCHANGE, AND TOMB MEMBERSHIP IN BRONZE AGE ARABIA: A BIOGEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lesley Ann Gregoricka, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Clark Spencer Larsen, Advisor Joy McCorriston Samuel D. Stout Paul W. Sciulli Copyright by Lesley Ann Gregoricka 2011 ABSTRACT Major transitions in subsistence, settlement organization, and funerary architecture accompanied the rise and fall of extensive trade complexes between southeastern Arabia and major centers in Mesopotamia, Dilmun, Elam, Central Asia, and the Indus Valley throughout the third and second millennia BC. I address the nature of these transformations, particularly the movements of people accompanying traded goods across this landscape, by analyzing human and faunal skeletal material using stable strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotopes. Stable isotope analysis is a biogeochemical technique utilized to assess patterns of residential mobility and paleodiet in archaeological populations. Individuals interred in monumental communal tombs from the Umm an-Nar (2500-2000 BC) and subsequent Wadi Suq (2000-1300 BC) periods from across the Oman Peninsula were selected, and the enamel of their respective tomb members analyzed to detect (a) how the involvement of this region in burgeoning pan- Gulf exchange networks may have influenced mobility, and (b) how its inhabitants reacted during the succeeding economic collapse of the early second millennium BC. Due to the commingled and fragmentary nature of these remains, the majority of enamel samples came from a single tooth type for each tomb (e.g., LM1) to prevent ii repetitive analysis of the same individual.

    PART II ROAD NETWORK PLANNING CHAPTER 6 FUTURE SOCIOECONOMIC FRAMEWORK CHAPTER 6 FUTURE SOCIOECONOMIC FRAMEWORK 6.1 DEVELOPMENT POLICY OF SOCIOECONOMIC FRAMEWORK 6.1.1 Consideration on Development Policy of Oman Government At present, the most important Oman Government's long-term development policy is "Oman Vision 2020". The primary aim of the Vision is to maintain at least the current (1995) level of per capita income in real terms, and strive to double it by 2020. In order to move from an economy based on a mono depletable source continuously by external economic and political factors to an economy with varied and renewable sources, it is essential if economic diversification is to be achieved. Quantitative and qualitative indicators for economic diversification are shown in Table 6.1-1. In order to improve the employment situation of Omanis, human resources development is important. The Vision shows the target percentages of employed Omanis in 2020; for the public sector 95%, and for the private sector 75%. For the preparation of future socioeconomic framework, the above-mentioned targets are taken into consideration as much as possible. 6.1.2 Basic Policy and Methodology for Socioeconomic Framework 1) Target Years Year 2000 is adopted as the base year. For future socioeconomic framework, years 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030 are determined as target years. In addition, year 2003 (Census year) is used for the preparation of national level framework. 2) Basic Considerations As the preliminary results of 2003 Census revealed a low growth rate of Omani population, the future sex-age structure of Omani population should be projected in the first place based on assumed future fertility rates.
