Muscat: Artefacts dating back to the Iron Age have been unearthed in Oman's Musandam governorate.
The Ministry of Heritage and Culture announced the discovery of the archaeological site in Wilayat Dibba. The artefacts are estimated to have been created between 1300 and 100 BC.
The excavation work conducted by the ministry with an Italian mission from the University of Rome revealed more secrets about the archaeological site, which was first discovered in 2012.
Archaeologists have also unearthed an oval shaped tomb built within the funerary, dating back to the Iron Age and the pre-Islamic era between 100 BC and 300 AD.
The tomb includes the remains of 12 skeletons, many funerary collections such as glazed and unglazed vessels, stone and bronze vessels, swords, iron arrows, and local silver and gold ornaments imported from neighbouring civilisations, Times of Oman reported.
