Résumé
Despit e the numerous studies proposing early human population expansions from Africa into Arabia during the Late Pleistocene, no archaeological sites have yet been discovered in Arabia that resemble a specific African industly. which would indicate demographic exchange across the Red Sea. Here we report the discovery of a buried site and more than 100 new surface scatters in the Dhofar region of Oman belo ng ing to a regionally-specific African lithic industry- the late Nubian Complex - known previously only from the northeast and Horn of Africa during Marine Isotope Stage 5, - 128,000 to 74,000 years ago. Two optically stimulated luminescence age estimates from the open-air site of Aybut AI Auwal in Oman place the Arabian Nubian Complex at - 106,000 years ago, providing archaeological evidence for the presence of a distinct northeast African Middle Stone Age technocomplex in southern Arabia sometime in the first half of Marine Isotope Stage 5.
