A discussion of rock carvings in Ra’s al Khaimah Emirate, UAE, and Musandam province, Sultanate of Oman, using local considerations

Abstract

Conversations about various examples of rock carvings with interested local tribespeople across the study region revealed information about the different loci of carvings; subject matter and techniques; and the identities of possible carvers. It was possible to place sorts of rock carvings in specific cultural contexts and in long‐standing traditions across the peninsula. Rock carvers, in most cases, were either immature tribal members or male adults from outside Arab tribal society.
