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.
