The first peoples of Oman flourished along these waterways, drawn to the freshwater springs and abundant game, as well as the myriad chert outcrops with which to fashion their hunting implements and other tools. The landscapes of the Nejd Plateau are a natural museum of human prehistory, covered in carpets of chipped stone debris. The archaeological evidence presented in this work encompasses the cultural remains of over a million years of successive human occupations, from the Lower Palaeolithic to the Late Palaeolithic. Once considered an evolutionary backwater or merely a migratory way station, the archaeology of Dhofar requires a fundamental reconsideration of the role of Southern Arabia in the origin and dispersal of our species. 650 0 $a Paleoanthropology $z Dhofar. $z Dhofar. 650 0 $a Paleolithic period $z Dhofar. $z Dhofar. 700 1 $a Hilbert, YamanduÌ Hieronymus, $e author. 700 1 $a Marks, Anthony E., $e author. 700 1 $a Usik, Vitaly I., $e author. 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781789692853 830 0 $a Archaeological heritage of Oman; $v v. 5. 830 0 $a Archaeopress archaeology 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020159.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ADB4BCFEA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
