The Tangible & Intangible Cultural Landscape of Wadi Bani
Kharus: Investigations in the Sultanate of Oman presents the result
of the project sponsored by Oman’s Ministry of Heritage and
Culture (now Heritage and Tourism) to survey one of the country’s
most significant valleys. The primary objective was to gain greater
understanding of the area’s past and present through its tangible
and intangible cultural heritage. Traditional archaeological
methods were bridged with those of cultural anthropology to create
a wider lens for exploration and analysis. The book provides an
eclectic overview of the wadi’s twenty-nine communities including
ancient fortresses and water distribution systems, sundials,
cemeteries, tombstones and period architecture in addition to oral
histories highlighting past lifeways and recent transformations.
