Gravegoods comprising local and imported pottery together with iron arrowheads were ‘rescued’from a burial at al‐Khatt, U.A.E., in 1993. Their relation to the chronology established at Mleiha suggests that they date from the late 3rd to early 2nd centuries BC, a period as yet little known in the Emirate of Ras al‐Khaimah.
