–Describes dugong remains from Umm an-Nar (591, 597-601, 604, 606, 634). Notes that the tusks were not utilized, nor, apparently, were dugongs venerated or depicted in art. Though dugongs and green turtles are the most abundant species at he site, it is thought that Umm an-Nar did not represent a "dugong-turtle hunting culture", because trade and not hunting/fishing was probably the main economic activity at the site.
