Runoff farming is a key hydro-agricultural strategy that has proven efficient in arid areas. Research in Arabia on the function, development, maintenance, durability and abandonment of this technology is scarce. A multiproxy investigation (cartography, sedimentology, pedology, geochemistry, paleo-ecology and chronology) was conducted on a recently abandoned terraced area in Rustaq, Northern Oman. | Runoff farming is a key hydro-agricultural strategy that has proven efficient in arid areas.

For many archaeologists, the site of Jarmo in Iraqi Kurdistan is synonymous with the study of early agriculture and with multidisciplinary archaeology. This is due to previous excavations directed by Robert Braidwood (University Chicago) in 1948, 1950–51 and 1954–55 (Braidwood (1960); L. Braidwood et al 1983). Within the Braidwoods’ hypothesis, Jarmo became representative of the earliest agricultural villages associated with the “hilly flanks of the [Fertile] Crescent”, a phrase first used by Robert Braidwood (1948). | |||
