Samad al-Shan

Samad al-Shan

Samad al-Shan (22°48'N; 58°09'E) is a site in the central part of Oman in the Sharqiyah province where Late Iron Age remains were first identifed, hence the Samad Culture or assemblage. The site was discovered by surveyors from Harvard University (1971). It is located 2 km east of al-Maysar. The excavation of this site (1981-1982, 1987-1998) by Burkhard Vogt, Gerd Weisgerber and Paul Yule of the German Mining Museum, Bochum and later University of Heidelberg documented some 260 graves which span the Bronze Age to Late Iron Age in the Sultanate of Oman. Samad is the type-site for the non-writing Late Iron Age of south-eastern Arabia. It is preceeded by the Early Iron Age which differs somewhat in terms of pottery from that of the present-day United Arab Emirates. The remains of different pre-Islamic periods exist at Samad.
