A well deserved day off from sampling which we spent exploring the Dhofari mountains around #Salalah, meeting with the locals and learning about traditional #pastoral practices 😁

Another day of #ethnoarchaeology in south #Oman. We are passed the 1000 samples and the dromedaries came to celebrate with us!!!!! 🐪🐪

Hard day of #fieldwork against the Dhofari wind, but still lots of ethnoarchaeological samples coming home! We are almost at 800 now 😎 Fewer dromedaries today though, so I am using a photo of them crossing the lagoon a couple of days ago 🐪🌊

Abel Ruiz-Giralt @archaeorg.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Ethnoarchaeological sampling started in #Dhofar, south #Oman! Already 300 and counting.. (and some dromedaries)

Today, we explored the area around the site of #Sumhuram and found some very nice #ethnographic sites that we will start sampling tomorrow! 💥💥 Also, dromedaries 😁 @camp-erc.bsky.social

Today Dr Remy Crassard from CNRS visited us at CASEs (UPF, Barcelona) to talk about kite sites in the Arabian peninsula that they are studying in the framework of the GlobalKites project. Check out the project's website at www.globalkites.fr #archaeology

Leaving the site after an exciting week of fieldwork in southern Botswana... An amazing place to do #archaeology! Hope we get to come back soon 🤩

Abel Ruiz-Giralt @archaeorg.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

These will then be compared with the results from the ethnographic and abandoned sites around Maitengwe in northern Botswana, where we collected over 3500 samples 🤩

Abel Ruiz-Giralt @archaeorg.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

The plan is to create grids of samples, which will be analyse with a #pxrf to get a chemical signature of the human activities at the site.
