Amlah or ʿAmlāʾ (23°07'52N"; 56°54'07"E), al-Dhāhirah province (41 km ESE of ʿIbrī), Sultanate of Oman. The area around Amlah contains numerous archaeological sites which came to light during sureveys in the mid 1970s [1]. Those that are available to the public date from the Bronze Age Wadi Suq period to the late pre-Islamic period. 26 excavated graves provide evidence for a cemetery at al-Fuwaydah.[2] The graves and grave goods are related most closely to those of the United Arab Emirates, Preislamique Récente, i.e. PIR, and not the Samad Late Iron Age.[3] Among the most striking Late Iron Age finds are bronze phiales inscribed on the inside.[4].
