Dhofar, the southern governorate of Oman, lies within a distinctive ecological zone
due to the summer Southwest Monsoon. It is home to numerous indigenous succulent plants,
the most famous of which is frankincense (Boswellia sacra). The region, tied in the
past to both Oman and Yemen, has a long and distinguished archaeological past stretching
back to the Lower Paleolithic ca. 1.5 my BP. Dhofar is also home to a distinctive
people, the Modern South Arabian Languages speakers (MSAL) since at least the last
15,000 years. Ancient Zafar (Al-Habudi), now called Al-Baleed, and its successor Salalah
was and is the province's largest city. From the seventh century onwards until the
arrival of the Portuguese in 1504 AD Al-Baleed dominated the central southern Arabian
coastline politically and economically. Archaeological surveys and excavations in
the governorate, beginning in 1954, have brought to light Dhofar's ancient past
