Through a detailed examination of the archaeology of the Gulf, Michael Rice, already well known as an Egyptologist and for his work on Dilmun, reveals the extraordinary nature of the region's past. He shows that the Gulf has been a major channel of commerce for millennia.\" \"No similarly wide-ranging book is currently available which deals with the antiquity of this area. It will be of great interest to students of archaeology, as well as to the more general reader who seeks to read of the past of the last unknown region of the ancient world.\"--Jacket."@en .
