Domestic food practice and vessel-use at Salūt-ST1, central Oman, during the Umm an-Nar period, an article by Akshyeta Suryanarayan et. al is Sherlock Holmes-style investigation into over four thousand year old pots to determine the foodstuffs that they once held to draw a bigger and better picture of food practices on the Arabian Gulf during the so-called Umm an-Nar period (ca. 2700-2000 BCE). Many of these pots were imported ancient Indus Black-Slipped Jars. Lipid analysis is a relatively new tool in Indus archaeology, and this is among the first comprehensive set of results using this tool even if the source of the materials is one of the civilizations that Indus people traded with – in their own pots: https://t.co/Eh2SKVlUTY
