Abstract

In Oman, many coastal sites dated to the Neolithic have yielded material culture related to ornament manufacture. These sites are the remnants of fishermen occupations, developing an economy mainly based on maritime and mangrove resources. The Omani islands of Maṣīrah and Al‐Ḥallāniyah are both situated in the Arabian Sea. Today, Maṣīrah is located about 20 km from the continent, while Al‐Ḥallāniyah is part of the Khurīyā Murīyā archipelago off the southern coast of Oman. On Maṣīrah, workshops have been discovered in Neolithic shell middens, revealing the work of stone and Spondylus sp. shells for bead production, using lithic tools. Separated by approximately 400 km from Maṣīrah, Al‐Ḥallāniyah yielded several Neolithic sites with similar evidence for shell bead production. The main lithic tools discovered are micro‐drills, pièces esquillées (splintered pieces) made of local chert, and multitasking tools made of stone, used as anvils, hammerstone and/or polishing stone. Most of the micro‐drills are made from bladelets either with sharped edges or with steep edges and testify to predetermined knapping operations. However, others created on undifferentiated flakes appear to be more opportunistic (or expedient). Micro‐drills of the Maṣīrah and Al‐Ḥallāniyah types seem to be quite new to the Neolithic toolkit of coastal Oman. Pièces esquillées demonstrate the use of bipolar flaking (performed on an anvil) but functional questions remain. These could be cores, but also chisels used between a hammer and a material (shell) placed on an anvil. Stone tools show marks that are characteristic of use as hammers, anvils and as tools used to polish the beads after perforation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The proliferation of 5G technology enables vertical industries to improve their day-to-day operations by leveraging enhanced Quality of Service (QoS). One of the key enablers for such 5G performance is network slicing, which allows telco operators to logically split the network into various virtualized networks, whose configuration and thus performance can be tailored to verticals and their low-latency and high throughput requirements. However, given the end-to-end perspective of 5G ecosystems where slicing needs to be applied to all network segments, including radio, edge, transport, and core, managing the deployment of slices is becoming excessively demanding. There are also various verticals with strict requirements that need to be fulfilled. Thus, in this paper, we focus on the solution for dynamic and quality-aware network slice management and orchestration, which is simultaneously orchestrating network slices that are deployed on top of the three 5G testbeds built for transport and logistics use cases. The slice orchestration system is dynamically interacting with the testbeds, while at the same time monitoring the real-time performance of allocated slices, which triggers decisions to either allocate new slices or reconfigure the existing ones. In this paper, we illustrate the scenarios where dynamic provisioning of slices is required in one of the testbeds while considering specific latency/throughput/location requirements coming from the verticals and their end users.

Abstract

In southern and south-eastern Arabia, the Neolithic developed between 6500 and 3100 BCE. In the Sultanate of Oman, occupation occurred along wadi banks, around paleolakes, and at large shellmiddens accumulated on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Nevertheless, the origins and development of human occupation on the Arabian Sea islands are poorly known, if not totally undocumented. After exploring the archaeological potential of the large island of Masirah, we focused our research on the small Al-Hallaniyat archipelago (formerly known as the Kuria Muria islands). A preliminary archaeological survey led us to test several sites belonging to different occupational phases on the island, and we explored the largest shell-midden at the HLY-4 site in 2014 and 2019. Radiocarbon dating results, along with lithic analysis, demonstrate that at around 4200-4000 BCE, a Neolithic community settled the largest island (Al-Hallaniyah). While goats and dogs had been introduced as livestock, fish and dolphins were regularly fished and captured as a main food resource together with marine turtles and nesting birds. At HLY-4, not only lithic and bone artifacts characterize the assemblage, as standardized discoid marine-shell beads were also manufactured. The Neolithic conquest of Masirah Island occurred early in the Neolithic (at the beginning of the sixth millennium BCE), while the settlements on the Farasan islands (in the Red Sea) are dated to around 4500 BCE, and thus the ones on the Al-Hallaniyat archipelago to the end of the fifth millennium BCE. In Arabia, their chronological assessment marks the final conquest of the insular areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Maritime adaptation is a key component of the Neolithization process in Eastern Arabia. It is expressed by the development of diversified fishing techniques, the exploitation of hard marine animal materials (e.g., seashells, shark teeth, stingray's barbs, etc.) for both tools and personal adornments production, advanced seafaring, and colonization of offshore islands. Although a diet based mainly on the consumption of marine fish and mollusks, the importance of other seafood has been greatly underestimated in previous zooarchaeological studies. Large quantities of marine crabs (NISP = 10,619) and sea urchins (NISP = 2454) have been retrieved from newly excavated Neolithic sites in the United Arab Emirates. These data highlight local developments of interest for specific seafood and their intensive exploitation over several centuries of human occupation. This study focuses on methods for identifying the main edible marine crab and sea urchin species retrieved from archaeological sites in Eastern Arabia. Results from the Neolithic sites of Delma Island and the Umm al-Quwain lagoon are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

28. A new elasmobranch fauna from the early Miocene of Sharbithat (Sultanate of Oman) reveals the teeth of an ancient fantail stingray

Author

Charpentier, Vincent, Adnet, Sylvain, Charpentier, Vincent, and Adnet, Sylvain

Abstract

Here we describe a new elasmobranch assemblage consisting of isolated dental material from the Aquitanian near-shore marine deposits of the Shuwayr and Warak formations at Sharbithat, in eastern Sultanate of Oman. The faunal composition clearly indicates affinities to other early Miocene elasmobranch-bearing localities worldwide. This assemblage is predominantly composed of large and common pelagic sharks as well as teeth attributable to a new species of fantail stingray, Taeniurops tosii, as old as the oldest undisputable fossil records of Taeniurops. The study of this fossil assemblage presented here improves the knowledge of the ancient elasmobranchs that frequented the eastern Arabian coasts during the closure of the Neotethys and the birth of the Arabian Sea

Abstract

We successfully measured four radiocarbon dates on two specimens of a black geometric rock painting with a fragment in jeopardy of naturally spalling off in the wall of a rock shelter in the Ẓufār region, in the south of the Sultanate of Oman. Extraction of carbon dioxide (CO2) for radiocarbon dating of the binder in the black pigment of the rock painting specimen was conducted in the plasma oxidation laboratory at the Office of Archeological Studies in Santa Fe, NM. The radiocarbon content was measured on the Swiss ETH-Zürich accelerator mass spectrometer MICADAS. The dates obtained agreed with one another within the statistical uncertainty and the average date of the four samples was 1500 ± 35 radiocarbon years BP. The calendric equivalents of the average date results in calendric calibration date ranges that span the mid-fifth through mid-seventh centuries (440–453 CE, 478–496 CE, and 534–646 CE). This research demonstrates that it is possible to date the black paintings of the Jebel al-Qara' area of Oman; this is the first pictogram that was dated using radiocarbon dating in the region.

Abstract

International audience; Suwayh 1 and Ruways 1 are two shell-middens facing the Arabian seashores, whose occupations range from the end of the 7th millennium to the end of the 4th millennium. These shell-middens, mostly composed by seashell, fish, turtle and mammal remains, reflect that the marine resources played a major role in the subsistence for these Neolithic groups of people. This presentation introduces new results for these two sites based on fish bones and seashell studies.Ruways 1 shows an exploitation mostly oriented toward littoral fish like mulets, catfishes, sardines and sea breams, weighing between 20 to 120 g. These small individuals of such species highlight the presence of a paleo-lagoon and a mangrove near the site. The shellfish taxa identified also confirm such hypothesis.Suwayh 1 presents a different facies. While the seashells illustrate lagoon and mangrove shallow waters exploitation, the fishermen exploited other habitats, like the close open-water, here represented by numerous small shark and ray vertebrae accompanied by large size catfishes.These sites appear to be ancient fishing-stations, where people relied mostly on marine resources and took advantage of the surrounding environments, directly accessible and exploitable.

Abstract

International audience; We propose here a standardised protocol to record and trace painted inscriptions, in order to minimise personal biases. DStretch®, a plug-in for ImageJ© specifically designed for the enhancement of digital images, allows reproducible and operator-independent results, improving objectivity in documenting rock art sites in remote and harsh environments. We provide two examples of its application to Ẓufār sites in Oman, and compare our results with previously published tracings. The improvement is so good that we envisage to apply the same method to a number of other sites, with a view to a reappraisal of the corpus of painted inscriptions of Ẓufār.

Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary study testing whether beads can be effectively used as marker of cultural variability among the late Neolithic coastal communities of the Oman Peninsula. Stylistic, morphometric, and technological analysis identified intra- and inter-site variability in terms of shape, raw material, and size of the beads. The study of beads and bead making in the Neolithic coastal communities of Oman therefore testifies to the presence of rich patterns that can be used to infer diversity in productive and stylistic choices through time and space, as well as the complex dynamics of human interaction, knowledge exchange, and trade of goods.

Qui dit Afrique, dit Afrique des origines, celle de « la sortie du ventre africain », mais aussi une certaine pensée de l’immobilité, celle qu’évoque par exemple « les arts premiers, ou le primitivisme ! L’Afrique a assurément un passé, mais pour autant, aurait-elle une histoire, "Son" Histoire ? Loin des terrains d’exploration ethnographique, ces « croisières noires » qui firent la richesse de nos musées, l’Afrique est un laboratoire, celui de l’historien, de l’archéologue, qui nous révèle une surprenante Histoire pleine de singularités. Car le grand continent est habité de plusieurs domaines d’histoire, non pas isolés mais articulés les uns des autres. Monde Swahili et société Zoulou, commerçants musulmans et royaume chrétien, François-Xavier Fauvelle, directeur de recherche au CNRS propose aux auditeurs un tour d’horizon… d’une Histoire écrite car l’Afrique, depuis des millénaires écrit (hiéroglyphes d’Egypte et de Méroé, écriture Libyco-berbère, arabe, alpha-syllabique éthiopienne etc.)
