%T Beyond the Pale of Near Eastern Archaeology: Anthropomorphic Figures from al-Aqir near Bahla’, Sultanate of Oman
%U https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeumdok/109/
%X Metallic anthropomorphic figures, the subject of this essay, derive from Magan/Makkan i.e. from an Umm an-Nar Period context in al-Aqir/Bahla in the south-western piedmont of the western Hajjar chain. These artefacts are compared with those from northern India in terms of their origin and/or dating. They are particularly interesting owing to a secure provenance in middle Oman.
