Produktbeschreibung

This book is based on an archaeological research project completed in Bahrain aimed at investigating the period between the sixth and thirteenth centuries AD. Technologies such as pearl diving and pottery manufacture, as well as animal keeping and butchery, are considered. Additionally, this volume examines the role of trade and commerce in creating the complex history manifest in the Persian Gulf region, as well as the role of religious and other identities in that culture.

First published in 2005. This study results from an intensive years fieldwork completed in Bahrain in 2001. This comprised two seasons of both excavations and surveys (February-May and September-November), separated by the Bahraini summer when it was deemed too hot to work effectively in the field.
