本文介绍了卡姆辛岩洞遗址、地层演替、数值年龄和早-中全新世岩屑组合。该遗址是2010年在阿曼南部的Dhofar考古项目（DAP）的实地调查活动中发现和挖掘的。它位于内贾德高原的南部边缘，战略位置靠近高原和悬崖交界的主要地形障碍。发掘揭示了连续的五个考古层，每个层在技术上都有不同的石器组合。最低水平（gh5）归因于Khashabian工业，代表了南阿拉伯晚期旧石器时代的最后阶段。在此之上，在GH.4，发现了一个新石器时代的组合，具有中全新世典型的双面工具形式。根据在Khamseen岩石掩体和阿拉伯南部其他同时期考古遗址发现的证据，可以考虑旧石器时代晚期到新石器时代的过渡。
This paper presents the archaeological site of Khamseen rock shelter, its stratigraphic succession, numeric ages and Early–Middle Holocene lithic assemblages. The site was discovered and excavated during the 2010 fieldwork campaign of the Dhofar Archaeological Project (DAP) in southern Oman. It is situated at the southern edge of the Nejd Plateau, strategically positioned adjacent to a major orographic barrier at the interface of the plateau and escarpment. Excavations revealed a succession of five archaeological horizons, each bearing technologically distinct lithic assemblages. The lowest level (GH.5) is attributed to the Khashabian industry, representing the final phase of the South Arabian Late Palaeolithic. Above that, in GH.4, a Neolithic assemblage was found with bifacial tool forms typical of the Middle Holocene. In light of the evidence found at Khamseen rock shelter and other coeval archaeological sites across southern Arabia, the Late Palaeolithic-Neolithic transition is considered.
