New light on the late Wadi Suq period from the Ṣuhār hinterlands Michel de Vreeze, Bleda Düring & Eric Olijdam Summary The late Wadi Suq has been an elusive phase in the archaeology of the Oman peninsula. It is mostly documented in the settlements of Kalbāʾ and Tell Abraq, both located in the United Arab Emirates. The tell deposits with late Wadi Suq levels at these sites remain poorly understood, and the same applies to the limited evidence from funerary sites. In the Ṣuhār hinterlands we have previously found what appears to be late Wadi Suq materials in cemeteries, but these surface finds consist of a few sherds and soft-stone fragments that can be interpreted in various ways. In the 2018 season, however, an unequivocal Wadi Suq non-funerary site was found on a steep outcrop in Wādī Fizḥ, at Site 84. In this contribution we present Site 84, its characteristics and location, the structures that are visible, and the artefact assemblages collected from its surface. Keywords: late Wadi Suq, ceramics, soft-stone vessels, visibility, landscape archaeology Introduction In this paper we present new data on remains from the late Wadi Suq to the early Late Bronze Age (c.1700–1600 BC) period from Site 84 which was documented along Wādī Fizḥ in 2018 by the Wadi al-Jizzi Archaeological Project (WAJAP). Wādī Fizḥ is located in the north of Oman, in the hinterlands of the town of Liwaʾ. The remarkably well -preserved cultural landscape of the Bronze Age in this remote part of the Bāṭinah has previously been reported (Düring & Botan 2018; Düring et al. 2019), including well-documented early Wadi Suq remains. In this paper we will focus on the mid-second millennium BC. The late Wadi Suq and Late Bronze Age in south-east Arabia The period from the end of the Wadi Suq and the start of the Late Bronze Age remains one of the more elusive in the archaeology of south-east Arabia, and in particular for Oman. In the Ṣuhār region, good evidence has been found for Wadi Suq presence in cemeteries and settlements which, based on associated ceramics, might generally be considered rather early in the Wadi Suq period, straddling the transition from the late Umm an-Nar period to the Wadi Suq period (c.2000 BC) (Düring et al. 2019). Early Wadi Suq evidence from Oman is particularly strong in the Al-Akhḍar region, with the cemeteries of Samad al-Shāʾn and Al-
