The Oman file now connects Bahla Fort, Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn and Land of Frankincense through chronology, settlement form, production, belief, exchange and conservation. The sites are not collapsed into one period or cultural system; each is read through its own material and historical context.
In oasis and desert landscapes, water management, caravan movement, defence and seasonal use belong to one system. Wells, channels, fields and routes matter alongside monuments.
