Umm an-Nar Culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Umm an-Nar Culture, is the name given to a bronze age culture that existed from 2600-2000 BC in modern day United Arab Emirates and Northern Oman. The etymology derives from the island of the same name which lies adjacent to Abu Dhabi.[1] One element of the Umm an-Nar culture is circular tombs typically characterized by well fitted stones in the outer wall and multiple human remains within.[2]

Umm an-Nar is preceded by the Hafit culture and followed by the Wadi Suq culture.[3]
