The third millennium BC domestic sites of Asimah (Emirate of Ras al‐Khaimah, U. A. E.), excavated in 1988 and published in 1994, produced a common Umm an‐Nar inventory, but with a high percentage of imported Indus Valley pottery. A comparison of finds with the well‐stratified Hili‐8 sequence is contrasted with five new radiocarbon dates which, together with the artefacts recovered, place Asimah in the late third millennium BC chronological and cultural context of Tell Abraq.
