People have lived on the islands of Bahrain for over six thousand
years. There are traces of their lives scattered across the
landscape or hidden in the sands: burial mounds, villages, palaces,
temples and forts. This guidebook introduces readers to Bahrain's
rich and varied past, and takes them to some of the most important
sites in the Kingdom. Using the evidence from decades of
archaeological work it not only details what can be seen by the
visitor today, but how people once lived, worked and worshipped
here. It is an indispensable guide for residents and visitors to
Bahrain's unique heritage. '...written in a clear, authoritative
voice and is packed with useful information and insights. As a
guidebook it is an excellent model. One can only regret that
ongoing political tensions in Bahrain will no doubt impact tourism
there for some time to come. Yet anyone travelling to Bahrain, or
any scholar interested in a short overview of the island's main
sites and finds, will profit from this nicely produced volume.'
