No full textThe excavation of KHB-1 archaeological site was part of the Joint Hadd Project [Joint Hadd Project is a project operating in the Ja’lān region since 1985, born under the collaboration between ISIAO (Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e l’Oriente, Rome), CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris) and the University of Bologna] carried out in the Ja’lān region, along the coast of the Sultanate of Oman. Different phases of occupation with significant structural evidences were identified within the deposit: an early short-term occupation in the 7th millennium, followed by a longer, extended period of occupation during the 4th millennium by a community of hunter-gatherers, with some evidence of animal husbandry. The material culture recovered from KHB-1, which includes architectural remains, provides new insights on the cultures of this region, highlighting a need for further excavations and analysis. This paper will illustrate the stratigraphic sequence and the main features recovered at KHB-1, followed by a discussion on the two main periods of occupation which will help shed a light on the site function and more broadly provide key insights on mobility, economy, and material culture of Ja’lān in the beginning of 7th and along the 4th millennium B.C

Évolution paléogéographique du Ja'alan (Oman) à l'Holocène moyen : impact sur l'évolution des paléomilieux littoraux et les stratégies d'adaptation des communautés humaines
No full textDuring the mid Holocene, climatic, eustatic and tectonic fluctuations characterised the east coast of Arabia. These had an effect upon the equilibrium between Neolithic peoples and the coastal environment. Geo-archaeological data from the eastern region of the Ja 'alan (Sultanate of Oman) indicate numerous variations in the dynamics of the coastal ecosystems (sea, lagoons and mangroves). These variations led the human communities to adapt to the new ecological conditions, as is reflected in the changes in the archaeological faunal spectra. Peoples of the 6th to 4th millennia mainly exploited coastal resources - collecting molluscs. The 3rd millennium Early Bronze Age cultures that followed responded to these ecological constraints by adopting a considerably more specialised marine economy - coastal and deep-sea exploitation - as well as an intensification of regional economic exchange related to the development ofpas- toralism and oasis agriculture in the foothills of the hinterland. In addition to temporary fishing settlements, there were also harbour sites that undertook long-distance exchange.Les fluctuations climatiques, eustatiques et tectoniques qui ont caractérisé la côte orientale de l'Arabie à l'Holocène moyen ont régulièrement modifié les équilibres entre les populations néolithiques et le milieu littoral. Le bilan des données géoarchéologiques de la région orientale du Ja 'alan (Sultanat d'Oman) indique de nombreuses variations dans la dynamique des écosystèmes côtiers (mer, lagunes, mangroves). Elles nécessitent de la part des communautés humaines une adaptation aux nouvelles conditions écologiques, sensible notamment dans l'évolution des spectres de ressources animales identifiées sur les sites. Alors que les populations du VIe au IVe millénaire se concentrent sur et exploitent surtout le littoral (amas coquilliers), les cultures du Bronze ancien qui leur succèdent au IIIe millénaire répondent à ces contraintes par une spécialisation marine nettement plus affirmée (prédation littorale et hauturière) et une intensification des échanges économiques à l 'échelle régionale en relation avec le développement de l'élevage et d 'une agriculture d'oasis dans les piémonts de l 'arrière-pays. Aux stations temporaires spécialisées dans la pêche viennent s 'ajouter des sites portuaires tournés vers les échanges à longue distance.Berger J.-F., Cleuziou S., Davtian G., Cattani Mauricio, Cavulli Fabio, Charpentier Vincent, Cremaschi M., Giraud Jessica, Marquis P., Martin Chloé, Mery Sophie, Plaziat Jean-Claude, Saliège J.-F.
