阿拉伯东南部（阿曼和阿联酋）数十年的考古研究提供了一个很好的理解人类社会在这个干旱地区的演变，从移动的畜牧业到定居的农业村庄的过渡发生在哈菲特时期的开始（约200年）。公元前3100-2700年）。相对于美索不达米亚、伊朗南部和南亚西北部的邻国，该地区的农业、陶瓷、泥砖建筑、冶金和其他技术的采用一直推迟到公元前3000年开始，这是该地区一个特别突出的特征。然而，最近在位于阿曼西北部Wadi Sharsah山谷内的世界遗产蝙蝠遗址进行的地质考古研究提供了可追溯到公元前4世纪早期和中期的灌溉实践的证据。虽然早期农耕的直接证据仍然难以捉摸，但此时灌溉农田的存在提出了新的问题，即阿拉伯新石器时代所谓的移动的牧民群体以及该地区农耕实践的开始。
Decades of archaeological research in southeastern Arabia (Oman and the UAE) have provided a good understanding of the evolution of human societies in this arid region, with the transition from mobile pastoralism to settled agricultural villages occurring at the start of the Hafit period (ca. 3100–2700 BCE). The delayed adoption of farming, ceramics, mudbrick architecture, metallurgy, and other technologies until the start of the 3rd millennium BCE has been a particularly salient feature of this region relative to its neighbours in Mesopotamia, southern Iran, and northwestern South Asia. However, recent geoarchaeological research at the World Heritage Site of Bat, situated within the Wadi Sharsah valley in northwest Oman, has provided evidence of irrigation practices that have been dated to the early-mid 4th millennium BCE. While direct evidence of farming from this early period remains elusive, the presence of irrigated fields at this time raises new questions about the supposedly mobile pastoralist groups of the Arabian Neolithic and the beginning of farming practices in the region.
