Résumé
In this paper we present the results of surveys carried out in February 2016 alonga palaeo-drainage system near the village of Bisyah. We report first on the geologicalprospection, which was our main goal, and then present our discovery ofthe only known localities in north Oman of large Kombewa flake production(>10 cm up to 20 cm). Among the scatter of artefacts, we found cores and largeKombewa flakes with two opposed bulbs of percussion, a technology that had notbeen known in this region until now. In spite of the local features, the typo-technologicaltraits of the artefacts suggest that at least part of them resemble in someway the Acheulean techno-complex, but there are still many questions remainingon the age of these artefacts.
