Abstract
	Since 2016, the Italian Mission to Oman in collaboration with the Office of the Adviser to His Majesty the Sultan for Cultural Affairs started a new project on the Inqitat promontory in the Khor Rori area (Dhofar, Oman). These archaeological investigations have brought to light a huge settlement that provides important data on the first millennium BC in Dhofar. The materials studies and the radiocarbon dating suggest that the settlement was used until the Classical Period (1st-2nd cent. AD), contemporary at least in part with Sumhuram. This was an important South-Arabian city strongly connected with the frankincense trade. The site of Inqitat seems to suggest the presence of a long life architectural tradition, and open some interesting questions about the relation between South Arabian people, who were living in Sumhuram, and the local population of the area. Furthermore, this site could allow some understanding of the culture of the inhabitants of Dhofar.
