Trucial Oman in the 16th and 17th Centuries
View through CrossRef
The Trucial Oman States in Eastern Arabia have been intermittently in the news since withdrawal from the area was announced in 1968. At that time, Mr D. B. Doe and I were engaged in a brief survey of archaeological sites in the Sheikhdom of Ras al-Khaimah subsequently extended to a stretch of the eastern coast from Kalba to Khawr Fakkan (FIG. I). An awareness of political boundaries is essential in the Oman peninsula because the extreme north and a large part of the southeastern sector south of Kalba lie in the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, a territory which is virtually closed to foreigners.
