اِكْتَشَفَ فَرِيقٌ لِلْآثَارِ مَدَافِنَ قَدِيمَةً فِي مَنْطِقَةِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، قُرْبَ مَدِينَةِ عِبْرِيَّ فِي عُمَانَ. وَوَجَدَ الْفَرِيقُ بَقَايَا هَيَاكِلَ عَظْمِيَّةٍ وَأَوَانِيَ فَخَّارِيَّةً كَامِلَةً.

وَكَشَفَتِ التَّنْقِيبَاتُ أَيْضًا عَنْ خَرَزٍ كَثِيرٍ، وَأَدَوَاتٍ مِنَ النُّحَاسِ وَالْبُرُونْزِ. وَمِنْ بَيْنِ هَذِهِ الْأَدَوَاتِ رُؤُوسُ سِهَامٍ وَفُؤُوسٌ وَخَنَاجِرُ.

يَعُودُ تَارِيخُ هَذِهِ الْمَدَافِنِ إِلَى الْأَلْفِ الثَّالِثِ قَبْلَ الْمِيلَادِ. وَيَرْبِطُ الْبَاحِثُونَ مُعْظَمَ الْأَوَانِي بِحَضَارَةِ جَمْدَةَ نَصْرَ فِي بِلَادِ الرَّافِدَيْنِ.

يَعْمَلُ الْفَرِيقُ فِي الْمَوْقِعِ لِتَسْجِيلِ الْآثَارِ وَحِمَايَتِهَا مِنَ الْبِنَاءِ الْحَدِيثِ. وَيُسَاعِدُ هَذَا الْاِكْتِشَافُ الْبَاحِثِينَ عَلَى فَهْمِ صِلَاتِ عُمَانَ بِالْمَنَاطِقِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ قَدِيمًا.

Archaeologists Find Ancient Burials in Oman

An archaeology team discovered ancient burials in the Al-Aynayn area, near the city of Ibri in Oman. The team found human remains and complete pottery vessels.

The excavations also uncovered many beads and objects made of copper and bronze. These objects include arrowheads, axes, and daggers.

The burials date to the third millennium BCE. Researchers link most of the pottery to the Jemdet Nasr civilization in Mesopotamia.

The team is working at the site to record and protect the finds from modern construction. This discovery helps researchers understand Oman’s ancient connections with neighboring regions.
