A concentration of fish remains found in a single room of a fortified building at Mleiha (United Arab Emirates) is presented here. Part of it (sample 10148) was probably the filling of a bag or an organic container fallen from a bench to the floor of the room. The various species recovered in these contexts dating to the 2nd to mid. 3rd centuries AD, are briefly described. Particular attention is paid to the skeletal elements by which the fish are represented and to the corresponding lengths of the animals as these allow to propose that démontrait que the fish had been dried on the sea shore before being carried to the site inland. The data from building H will be compared to those from previously studied contexts at Mleiha (Mashkour & Van Neer 1999) and from 12 other, smaller assemblages (Gautier & Van Neer 1999). In addition, the ichthyofauna will be considered from ed-Dur (Van Neer & Gautier 1993), a coastal site that is partially contemporaneous with the contexts from building H.
