Oman

The SOLAR lab’s research includes The Archaeological Water Histories of Oman (ArWHO) Project (pronounced ar-who). The ArWHO Project is a collaborative archaeological research effort investigating the long-term role of water and trade in ancient Oman. The project was funded from 2013-2017 by a grant from NASA for an archaeological survey and satellite imagery based study of ancient water histories in Oman and Ethiopia.
