Our knowledge of the prehistory of coastal Oman has greatly increased during the last ten years. This article considers the radiocarbon chronology of the aceramic shell-middens scattered along the coast between Muscat, to the north, and Shuwayr, to the south. The appearance of these middens seems to correspond to the climatic deterioration that, according to more recent results, took pIace around the middle of the seventh millennium BP.The number of sites seems to have increased since the beginning of the actual arid phase, around 6000 BP
