description: In 1997 rescue operations in ʻAmlah, al-Ẓāhirah Province, brought to light four copper alloy bowls the decoration of which sheds light on the late Pre Islamic Period in this little explored part of south eastern Arabia. Here a site belonging to the Northern Late Pre Islamic Culture (NLPC), as known till now only from the United Arab Emirates, came to light unexpectedly. This find raises the question of the distribution and character of the different late Pre Islamic Assemblages in the region. At this still very early stage of research the distributions of the NLPC and Samad Assemblage appear not to be mutually exclusive, but rather mix with each other. The Sharqīyah is archaeologically the best researched part of the country. Here and in adjacent Dakhlīyah up to 47 sites of the Samad Assemblage have been tallied. The distribution and character of neighbouring late Pre Islamic Assemblages is sketchy. Whereas the new bowls reveal the art of the NLPC, for the Samad Assemblage still hardly any evidence exists. Least well known is the material culture of late Pre Islamic Dhofar.
