研究人员分析了沙迦酋长国内部新石器时代遗址BHS18和波斯湾（阿拉伯联合酋长国，阿联酋）海岸新石器时代贝壳中心UAQ2 （Umm al‐Quwain）的人类骨骼遗骸，分析了它们的锶（87Sr/86Sr）和氧（18O/16O）的同位素比率。这一结果与先前关于内陆地区和波斯湾东南海岸之间存在新石器时代游牧民族的假设不一致。现有的BHS18人的游牧活动证据很可能是指在腹地的山区进行的游牧活动。对UAQ2的人类骨骼进行的锶同位素测量表明，这一人群在海岸上不间断地居住。然而，在内陆地区和沿海地区之间发现了个人流动的证据。
Human skeletal remains from the Neolithic sites BHS18 in the interior of the Sharjah Emirate and the Neolithic shell midden UAQ2 (Umm al‐Quwain) on the coast of the Persian Gulf (United Arab Emirates, UAE) were analysed for their isotope ratios of strontium (87Sr/86Sr) and oxygen (18O/16O). The results are not in agreement with earlier assumptions about a Neolithic nomadism between inland regions and the south‐eastern coast of the Persian Gulf. Existing evidence of nomadic movements of the people from BHS18 most possibly refers to transhumance within the mountains in the hinterland. The strontium isotope measurements on human skeletons from UAQ2 on the contrary indicate uninterrupted residence of this population on the coast. Nevertheless, evidence was found of individual mobility between inland regions and the coast.
