Summary
"The intial aim of the Danish archaeological campaigns in Bahrain was to look for settlements contemporary with the Hundred Thousand Gravemounds'. After the first few campaigns, however, it became evident that the island's rich archaeological heritage extended beyond this, from the earliest flint-using cultures to the later Islamic world. This volume focuses on the Islamic remains, including an exceptionally fine collection of Early Islamic pottery and glass from the Barbar site and finds from the Islamic settlement at the Quala'a mound, especially the Islamic fortress. The volume includes reports on pottery, metals, stone objects, jewellery, glass and coins as well as associated animal bones and Arabic inscriptions."
