Chronology
Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.
1600 BCE–1300 BCE
Precision: range
Chronology model: central Oman later Wadi Suq chronology
moderateRegional periodization and site assemblages support a broad 1600–1300 BCE range, but later Wadi Suq occupation is sparse and not synchronous everywhere.
