A discovery of graves by Royal Oman Police (ROP) while digging for the new border check post in the Aswad area of the province of Shinas in northern Oman has led archaeologists to the discovery of a settlement dating back to 2000 BC, according to a senior archaeologist at the Ministry of Heritage and Culture. “The check post will be built at the spot but the archaeology site will be protected,” Sultan Al Bakri, Director of Antiquity Department at the Ministry, told newsmen.
