About

Salut Tower ST1 is a monumental circular Early Bronze Age stone tower in Ad Dakhiliyah, Oman, about 22 metres across and dated to roughly 2457-2150 BCE, with a central well and concentric ditch. Excavations here yielded Indus Valley pottery, and the excavated tower and its water-management ditch can be combined with the wider Bisya-Salut site.
