Abstract

The results of recent fieldwork conducted in Masafi-5, as well as laboratory studies on the collected materials, renew our knowledge about the lifestyle and economy of the Late Bronze Age (LBA) populations in south-eastern Arabia. The inter­ disciplinary studies conducted by the French Archaeological Mission in the UAE over the past 10 years, indeed revealed a rich economy characterised by sedentary agriculture and animal husbandry as well as multiple craft activities (manufacture of ceramics, processing of seashells, and metallurgy) based both on the exploitation of local resources and regional exchanges. In addition, Masafi-5, thanks to a well-established stratigraphic sequence, absolute dating and a comprehensive typo-chronology of the local pottery, provides new data for a discussion of the LBA chronology.
