14C dating and diet: a key to understanding the mobility of coastal populations of the Arabian Peninsula during the Neolithic

ABSTRACT Despite an often marginal position in prehistoric studies, the coasts have been a place of attraction for human settlements. In the Oman Peninsula, mainly along the coast of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, the presence of highly productive marine environments, combined with relatively limited land resources, have led to intense exploitation of marine resources as evidenced by the large number of coastal sites since the sixth millennium BC. The issue of mobility of human groups has been raised repeatedly by researchers working in the area. Our study addresses this issue by an original geochemical approach, involving the radiocarbon dating method. This article presents the background, method, and first results.
