Archaeological Sites in Oman

Gulf News reports that Oman is lobbying to get more of its archaeological sites on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. The south coast of Arabian peninsula has long been a key zone for the Indian Ocean trade, and plays a major role in my dissertation. These sites date from a few thousand years before what I'm doing, but it's still good to see the area getting attention. Aside from an Omani friend and a girl I've met who lives by me, no one really seems to realize it's there.
