NEW The newly-discovered large Neolithic site of Al-Khashbah, Oman, was occupied repeatedly over 1000 years, revealing how mobile hunter-herder communities in south-eastern Arabia adapted to climate change over time.

These results suggest gardening activities in the area, however preservation conditions at the site were not conducive to recovering sufficient paleobotanical evidence to confirm this.
