Human skeletal remains from the Neolithic sites BHS 18 in the interior of the Sharjah Emirate and the Neolithic shell midden UAQ 2 (Umm al‐Quwain) on the coast of the Persian Gulf (United Arab Emirates, UAE ) were analysed for their isotope ratios of strontium ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) and oxygen ( 18 O/ 16 O). The results are not in agreement with earlier assumptions about a Neolithic nomadism between inland regions and the south‐eastern coast of the Persian Gulf. Existing evidence of nomadic movements of the people from BHS 18 most possibly refers to transhumance within the mountains in the hinterland. The strontium isotope measurements on human skeletons from UAQ 2 on the contrary indicate uninterrupted residence of this population on the coast. Nevertheless, evidence was found of individual mobility between inland regions and the coast
