The early Dilmun culture flourished on the shores of the Arabian Gulf more than four thousand years ago. Its origins lie in the Arabian Peninsula, but by about 2000 BC it was Bahrain which had become the centre of an important trading nation linking the developed but resource-starved cities of southern Iraq with the vital commodities and raw materials available in Oman and the Indus Valley. This volume is both a general introduction to the Early Dilmun culture of Bahrain, and a detailed account of the temple recently excavated at Ancient Saar by the London-Bahrain Archaeological Expedition. The Dilmun people left no written records of their own, and their way of life is revealed by their material remains, the artefacts and architecture discovered through archaeology. Ancient Saar, with its extensive housing areas and associated cemeteries, is the first of their settlements to be excavated in detail. the focus of this volume is the monumental temple which dominated the ancient town, and which will be of importance to all those interested in the history and development of Bahrain and the Middle East, and to specialists working in the influential and expanding field of Gulf archaeology. --- Contents: 1. Early Dilmun and the Saar Settlement; 2. Architectural History of the Temple; 3. Activities inside the Temple: Evidence of Microstratigraphy; 4. Seals and Sealings: Fragments of Art and Administration; 5.

Kurt A. Johnson

An example of publishing excellence!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 November 2003

This book, first published in 1997, brings the reader almost completely up to date on what is known about ancient Dilmun. It begins with a chapter describing what is known about Dilmun in general, and Saar in particular. Then the book reports on the temple itself, followed by chapters dealing with what was found within the temple. Along the way, there is a great deal of information on stamp seals and sealing, including a catalogue of seals and sealings, and information on a whole host of other topics. Included are many excellent black-and-white and color(!) photographs, illustrations and maps.
This book is an example of publishing excellence! It is highly informative, wonderfully laid out, and beautifully illustrated. I found the catalogue of seals and sealing, which often included photographs and clear renderings, to be absolutely fascinating, something I have not seen anywhere else. So, if you are interested in ancient Dilmun, or even Mesopotamia, then you must get this book! I give it my highest rating.
