The New Radiocarbon Dataset for Trilith Monuments of Southeastern Arabia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Triliths are megalithic monuments scattered across the coastal plains of southern and southeastern Arabia. They consist of aligned standing stones with a parallel row of large hearths and form a space, the meaning of which is undoubtedly significant but nonetheless still unknown. This paper presents a new radiocarbon (C-14) dataset acquired during the two field seasons 2018-2019 of the TSMO (Trilith Stone Monuments of Oman) project which investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of the triliths. The excavation and sampling of trilith hearths across Oman yielded a dataset of 30 new C-14 dates, extending the use of trilith monuments to as early as the Iron Age III period (600-300 BC). The earlier dates are linked to two-phase trilith sites in south-central Oman. The three C-14 pairs collected from the two-phase trilith sites indicated gaps between the trilith construction phases from 35 to 475 years (2 sigma). The preliminary spatio-temporal analysis shows the geographical expansion of populations using trilith monuments during the 5th to 1st century BC and a later pull back in the 1st and 2nd century AD. The new C-14 dataset for trilith sites will help towards a better understanding of Iron Age communities in southeastern Arabia.
