Umm an‐Nar settlement pottery from Dahwa 7 (DH7), northern al‐Batinah, Oman

Résumé

This research focuses on studying the pottery sherds collected in 2018-2019 from the settlement of DH7 in northern al-Batinah region in northeastern Oman. The material mainly comes from stratified contexts from the largest building at the settlement which is building S42 that its function interpreted as a warehouse. Three main classes of pottery are recognized: The Indus Red Micaceous Ware, the Umm an-Nar Fine Red ware, and the Dahwa Sandy Buff ware. Compared to most of the other known Umm an-Nar settlements, the Black-Slipped Jars (Indus red Micaceous Ware) is clearly over represented at DH7. Intriguingly, local pottery-Dahwa Sandy Buff ware shows a typical Indus rim form. This is presumably a result of existing Indus potters in al-Batinah region who adapted to the local market. Radiocarbon dates date the beginning of the occupation of the DH7 settlement to around 2500 cal. BC.
