Title
The Iron Age Cultic Sites of the Oman Peninsula: A Spatial and Functional Analysis
Abstract
This study examines the distribution and function of ritual sites across the Oman Peninsula during the Iron Age. Spatial analysis reveals concentrations of cultic activity in specific topographical settings, such as mountain summits and wadi heads. Functional analysis of associated material culture suggests complex social rituals involving animal sacrifice and communal feasting.
