Ends the first excavation campaign at Hayy Al-Sarh Neolithic site in the Al-Hajar foothills (Rustaq, Oman)

The first excavation campaign at the Hayy Al-Sarh Neolithic site, nestled in the Al-Hajar foothills of Rustaq, Oman, has come to a close. With its strategic location in the Al-Hajar mountains, the site represents nowadays one of the few excavated settlements in the inland territories of Oman.

The excavation works have unveiled dwelling structures that include occupation floors and postholes, offering compelling evidence of a once-vibrant campsite in the Al-Hajar foothills. This discovery significantly advances our understanding of the region’s prehistoric past.

Future research endeavors are poised to delve deeper into the the extent of this settlement, the chronological timeline of its occupation, and the subsistence strategies employed by its ancient inhabitants. Understanding the full scope of this settlement and its temporal evolution will undoubtedly provide valuable insights into the broader cultural and historical tapestry of the region.
