Abstract

This study makes the argument for the presence of a category of small-sized ritual buildings at the Umm an-Nar (2700–2000 BC) sites of Dahwa 1 (DH1) and Dahwa 7 (DH7). These buildings are DH1.S20 and DH7.S1. The architectural features and associated finds point to their ritual function. Building DH7.S1 will be the focus while presenting arguments for its ritual role. Besides domestic buildings within a clustered settlement system and a monumental tomb dating to the Umm an-Nar period, the site might give unique evidence of a form of small buildings that served a ritual purpose. These buildings have no clear parallel in the excavated Umm an-Nar period settlements so far but adhere to the principles of cultic structures from elsewhere around the Near East that support their interpretation as cultic buildings.

阿曼东北部 al-Batinah 平原 Dahwa 7 区 Umm an-Nar 定居点的一座祭祀建筑
本研究论证了乌姆安纳尔(公元前 2700-2000 年)达瓦 1 号(DH1)和达瓦 7 号(DH7)遗址中存在一类小型祭祀建筑。这些建筑是 DH1.S20 和 DH7.S1。建筑特征和相关发现表明了它们的祭祀功能。DH7.S1 号建筑将是重点,同时介绍其祭祀作用的论据。除了聚落系统中的家庭建筑和一座乌姆安纳尔时期的古墓之外,该遗址可能还提供了一种独特的小型建筑形式的证据,这种建筑具有祭祀功能。这些建筑在迄今为止发掘的乌姆安-纳尔时期的聚落中没有明显的相似之处,但符合近东其他地方的祭祀建筑原则,支持将其解释为祭祀建筑。
