Synopsis

'The Tangible & Intangible Cultural Landscape of Wadi Bani Kharus: Investigations in the Sultanate of Oman' presents the result of the project sponsored by Oman s Ministry of Heritage and Culture (now Heritage and Tourism) to survey one of the country s most significant valleys. The primary objective was to gain greater understanding of the area s past and present through its tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Traditional archaeological methods were bridged with those of cultural anthropology to create a wider lens for exploration and analysis. The book provides an eclectic overview of the wadi s twenty-nine communities including ancient fortresses and water distribution systems, sundials, cemeteries, tombstones and period architecture in addition to oral histories highlighting past lifeways and recent transformations.
