The Archaeology of the Arabian Gulf (Hardcover)

The world's first great cities, built in the fertile lands of Mesopotamia, grew rich on trade. The great rivers which flowed into the Gulf were navigable as far as Babylon and beyond. A ship could carry goods from these cities to India and China. The archaeological remains in the Gulf area are very significant, and the sites are still relatively unexplored. This volume aims to provide a comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date review of the status of archaeology in the region. Through detailed examination, Michael Rice reveals the extraordinary nature of the region's past. He shows that the Gulf has been a major channel of commerce for centuries; and also suggests that a proper recognition of Gulf archaeology can show how cultures are transmitted.
