In Dhofar, the southern Governorate of the Sultanate of Oman, the
deep canyons cutting the Nejd plateau once flowed with perennial
rivers, feeding wetland environments, forests, and grasslands
across the now desiccated interior. 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.
