مستخلص: New data on the Neolithic occupation of the northern UAE coast were collected during the 2017-2018 excavations at the shellmidden site of UAQ36. Although so far limited to a fifth-millennium occupation, this data can be contextualized within the broader research programme of the French Archaeological Mission in the Emirate of Umm al-Quwain. When compared to the previously excavated Neolithic sites of UAQ2 (last third of the sixth-beginning of the fourth millennium) and Akab (second third of the fifth-beginning of the fourth millennium), this new data can be used to discuss the nature of the Neolithic occupation along the UAE Gulf coast, which overall attests a good and recurring adaptation of the human communities to the changing surrounding environment.
