Abstract

Dans la péninsule d’Oman, le iiie millénaire voit apparaître et se développer les premières oasis agricoles. Ce processus, complexe et encore mal compris, s’accompagne d’évolutions profondes dans le domaine économique et social. Ainsi, dans la sphère artisanale, on assiste à diverses transformations, en particulier au sein des pyro-technologies. Ces changements favorisent l’émergence d’un nouveau type de société, qui atteindra son apogée au cours du dernier tiers du iiie millénaire, à la fin de l’âge du Bronze ancien, puis se transforme et décline vers 2100 avant J.-C. Un siècle environ plus tard, une société différente par bien des aspects émerge, mais dont l’économie de subsistance continuera de reposer sur le système oasien - sauf dans les habitats côtiers et les haltes/lieux de chasse.L’analyse proposée ici est centrée sur un exemple, celui de l’oasis de Hili dans l’émirat d’Abou Dhabi, car c’est le site sur lequel le plus d’études spécialisées ont été réalisées jusqu’à présent, des études partiellement publiées que l’auteur de cet article a menées ou auxquelles elle a pris part.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
