Humility Workshop (Yale University, 2022)

The environment plays a crucial role in relation to armed conflicts: as a conflict source and fuel for the continuation of the hostilities; as a method of warfare; as a victim; as an obstacle as well as a vehicle for peacebuilding. Thus, international law needs to keep pace with these challenges in order to maintain its relevance in conflict prevention, regulating warfare and to build a peaceful world. The panel will address how during a roundtable discussion. Chair: Phoebe Okowa, Queen Mary University of London Panelists: ● Carl Brunch, Attorney, Environmental Law Institute ● Anne Dienelt, Research Fellow & Lecturer, University of Hamburg ● Ambassador Marie Jacobsson, Legal Advisor, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Sweden; Associate Professor, Lund University ● Marja Lehto, Senior Expert at the Legal Service, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland; Special Rapporteur, Protection of the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflicts, UN International Law Commission ● Britta Sjostedt, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Lund University

Seeb is the site of an extensive coastal settlement located in the northern suburbs of Muscat, now under imminent threat from urban development. Previous investigations by a team directed by Romolo Loreto in 2013 indicate the presence of areas of deep stratigraphy, intact occupation deposits and architectural remains covering most phases of the Islamic period. More recently, documentation by the local community has continued to highlight the exceptional quality of the finds assemblage, with artefacts drawn from across the Indian Ocean world, often closely comparable to material from other key urban centres in the region such as Sohar, Samarra or Siraf. The existence of a large urban centre on the southern Batinah remains to be better integrated into our wider historic reconstruction of the medieval topography of Oman. The paper discusses the results of a field-walking survey undertaken in January 2023. The work involved mapping, surface collection, and integration of community-collected material (mainly pottery) into the analysis. It clarifies our understanding of the size, chronology, and spatial development of Seeb and the extent of its international connections. The project has been conceived in partnership with the local community, whose existing interest in local heritage was a motivating driver in the plan and design of future research. Public workshops, social media and continuing conversations with residents and other stakeholders form important channels in the pursuit of the project. Integration of community interests into Islamic-period archaeological project in Oman is unprecedented and will be discussed alongside the survey data.
