TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES IN OASIS SETTLEMENTS OF OMAN 2002-2008 Final interdisciplinary project report to the DFG , 2008

These transformation processes rapidly progressed since the opening of the country in the 1970s. Based on an archaeological, historical, and urban-architectural analysis of selected oasis settlements emphasis was placed on studying the effects of the observed transformation processes on oasis sustainability and their current and future development.
To meet these challenges, in 1999 archaeologists, orientalists, urban specialist, architects and agricultural scientists from the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in Berlin and the universities
of Tübingen, Stuttgart and Kassel-Witzenhausen jointly applied for a four-phase project, whereby the first phase was funded by the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg followed by DFG-funding. In order to respond to the mountainous topography of northern Oman, a transect approach was chosen with a first cut through the Hajar mountains following the Wadi Bani Awf–Balad Seet–al-Hamra line (pilot phase of 1999-2001). During this phase intensive inter-disciplinary surveys were conducted
in cooperation with Omani partners from the Sultan Qaboos University (Muscat) coupled with the generation of high resolution aerial photographs of different types of oases from a kite, balloons and finally a remotely controlled plane provided the basic data for the development of the methodological approaches by the different groups. This pilot phase also allowed to define the interdisciplinary research framework and the different research questions to be addressed during the subsequently described three DFG-funded phases by the different disciplines collaborating in the project.

After Izkī and the Jebel al-Akhdar in 2004, field work concentrated on Nizwā, which always played an important part in the country's history as a political and religious centre. Today, Nizwā oasis has a north-south extension of nearly 20 km and is with its 60,000 inhabitants one of the largest inland oases of central Oman. As the process of urbanisation is in fast progress at Nizwā, large areas are already covered by modern building activities and many archaeological sites have been destroyed. Despite this situation it was possible to record nearly 300 find-spots from the late 4 th /early 3 rd millennium BC to the Late Islamic period. These sites, with a major emphasis in the Early Iron Age and the Middle Islamic period, allow us to sketch the development of settlement activities within this oasis. The preliminary results are presented in this paper.

Here we analyse human remains from ten European archaeological sites spanning this period and reconstruct 34 ancient Y. pestis genomes. Our data support an initial entry of the bacterium through eastern Europe, the absence of genetic diversity during the Black Death, and low within-outbreak diversity thereafter. Analysis of post-Black Death genomes shows the diversification of a Y. pestis lineage into multiple genetically distinct clades that may have given rise to more than one disease reservoir in, or close to, Europe. In addition, we show the loss of a genomic region that includes virulence-related genes in strains associated with late stages of the pandemic. The deletion was also identified in genomes connected with the first plague pandemic (541-750 AD), suggesting a comparable evolutionary trajectory of Y. pestis during both events.

But in many instances later archaeometric analysis done to check the fabric groups from field showed large discrepancies and the fabric groups classified in the field were not confirmed. If the laboratory test was not made in the beginning of the field work later corrections of the previous pottery classification mostly is impossible. Therefore, and also in cases when a large number of samples can not be taken to a laboratory e.g. to another country for archaeometric analysis, a fabric classification and documentation in the field is necessary. Modern digital cameras offer a cheep and quick possibility to make a photo of a fresh break. This could be done with thousands of sherds. Later thin sections studies, refiring (MGRanalysis)
and chemical analysis can be made on a few sherds and then correlated to the appearance in the fabric photo. This is tested using examples from a basis of 500 sherds from Neolithic to Islamic periods collected during archaeological field surveys in Oman and analysed in the
laboratories in Berlin and Warsaw (project was paid by DFG). For the
laboratory analysis a down-up sampling strategy was used starting with 500 MGR-analyses, followed by selecting 70 samples for chemical analyses by WD-XRF and 52 for thin sectioning.

Here, we report 32 ancient Y. pestis genomes spanning the 14th to 17th century AD through the analysis of human remains from nine European archaeological sites. Our data support an initial entry of the bacterium from Eastern Europe and the absence of genetic diversity during the Black Death as well as low diversity during local outbreaks thereafter. Moreover, analysis of post-Black Death genomes shows the diversification of a Y. pestis lineage into multiple genetically distinct clades that may have given rise to more than one disease reservoir in, or close to, Europe. Finally, we show the loss of a genomic region that includes virulence-associated genes in strains associated with late stages of the second plague pandemic (17th - 18th century AD). This deletion could not be detected in extant strains within our modern dataset, though it was identified in a today-extinct lineage associated with the first plague pandemic (6th - 8th century AD), suggesting convergent evolution during both pandemic events.
