title = "Production and exchange of ceramics on the oman peninsula from the perspective of hili",
abstract = "Analysis was conducted for purposes of defining provenience of the raw material for three ce-ramics types: “domestic, 33 “black-on-red, 33 and Emir grey wares selected from Periods I and II at Hili 8 settlement and Hili North Tomb A on the Oman Peninsula of the 3rd millennium b.c. Combined thin section petrography and neutron activation analysis indicated that the “domestic?3 and “black-on-red33 fine wares conform to the geological setting of the Oman Peninsula and the Emir grey ware probably comes from se Iran. The cultural implications are discussed.",

note = "Funding Information: The Hili 8 and Hili North sites were excavated by the Mission Archeologique Francaise a Abu Dhabi (5. Cleu-ziou, Director) in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities and Tourism, al-Ain, V.A.E. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Department of Antiquities and Tourism in al-Ain for generously providing the ceramic samples. This research has involved the collaborative effort of the C.N.R.S. and the Conservation Analytical Laboratory, Smithsonian Institution. The thin section petrography was carried out by S. Mery at the Institut de Geologie Albert de Lapparent (Paris) under the direction of J. C. Echallier. It is part of a program involving the study of ceramic crafts in the Bronze Age, Oman Peninsula, and is supported by the VRA n.30 of the Centre de Recherche Archeologiques and the Action Thematique Programme, Developpement d'approches nouvelles en ar-cheologie par les methodes de la physique, de la chimie et des sciences de la terre, of C.N.R.S. The neutron activation analysis was carried out at the National Institute of Standards and Technology by M. J. Blackman and R. Wright, assisted by M. Bograd. It is part of a research program involving the study of cultural developments leading to state formation in the Indus and the Helmand civilizations and is supported by grants from the Smith-sonian Institution Scholarly Studies and the Short-term Visitors programs. We would like to thank S. Cleuziou (C.N.R.S.), J. C. Echallier (C.N.R.S., LG.A.L.), K. Fri-felt (Forshistorik Museum, Moesgard), C. C.

Van Zelst (C.A.L.) for their assistance in developing this program. We also acknowledge the personnel of the Nuclear Methods Group, Division of Inorganic Analytical Chemistry, and the Reactor Operations Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Washington, D.C., for their substantial assistance. We gratefully thank Ph. Gouin (C.N.R.S.) who drew all of the ceramics and prepared the map. We also wish to thank the reviewers whose constructive comments contributed to the clarity of this paper.",
