First evidence of prehistoric coastal adaptations along the Arabian shores of the Indian Ocean is being recovered at Qurum in the Sultanate of Oman. The cluster of shell‐middens currently excavated relates to a small population of fishermen of the 5th and 4th millennia B.C. having a strongly maritime‐oriented culture. The economy was based on local resource intensification, but stock‐breeding of goats and cattle was practised as well, suggesting early contacts with farming groups and the spreading of domesticates through coastal interchanges
