This paper reviews the architectural and human skeletal remains from Umm an-Nar period tombs ( c . 2500–2000 BC), found across the Oman Peninsula. Possible meanings for the regional dispersal of the tombs across the region are considered. Tomb Unar 2 may provide possible interpretations of 3rd-millennium BC burial practices
