The LCG2 complex at Dibb? (Musandam, Oman, II–I millennium BC). Structural, material, and osteological elements
The Dibb? burial complex, represented by two ‘long collective graves’ (LCG1 and LCG2), a later Parthian grave, and several pits with ritual offerings, is located on the eastern coast of the Musandam peninsula, Sultanate of Oman. The paper mainly deals with LCG2. When all the external features are taken into account, LCG2 is a 23 m-long and 4.5 m-wide structure, which was built using different techniques and employing both local stones and mud brick. The whole area seems to have been continuously occupied from the Late Bronze Age (1600–1350 BC) until the Iron Age II/III period (c.600 BC).
