Between the Indian Ocean and the Gulf
This study presents the ceramic finds from archaeological investigations conducted in 2024 at two settlements: ‘Islamic Village' and Suhaila 2, one of a number of mountain villages of the Late Islamic period within the Ḥattā Oasis: a high‐altitude exclave in the Emirate of Dubai. The sites are located on the northeastern slopes of Jabal Qallāt Sabbā in the Ḥattā Valley. Excavation conducted on a series of simple, partly preserved, one or two cell…
Ship, Raft or Camelback? Early Hellenistic Ceramic Imports of the Eastern Mediterranean From the Ancient Caravan City of Thāj, Northeast Saudi Arabia
Five years of large‐scale excavations and surveys carried out by the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and the Saudi Heritage Commission at the ancient caravan city of Thāj (Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia), c. 75 km inland from the Gulf coast, produced a significant pottery assemblage of imported Mediterranean wares—particularly in the levels dated between the fourth and second c. BCE . These finds suggest strong economic connec…
Sasanian and Islamic Settlement and Ceramics in Southern Iran (4th to 17th Century AD)
European trade ceramics on the Arabian Peninsula 1800–1960
European trade ceramics found across Arabia date from the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries and were made at factories mostly located within northwest Europe. After c. 1930, imitations of European ceramics are increasingly represented from factories in Japan and later China. Combining the information from archaeological excavations on the Arab coast of the Gulf and ceramics from museum and private collections, information from the archive…
Early Islamic Torpedo Jars from Siraf
This paper concerns Sasanian to Early Islamic period transport containers, usually lined with bitumen, known as Torpedo jars. Widely distributed throughout the western Indian Ocean, with outliers as far west as Egypt and to the east in Indonesia, they are an important marker of maritime exchange. Their area of production is thought to be central/southern Iraq or southwestern Iran, the latter in keeping with proposed bitumen sources in the region …

Pottery technology in the Tang dynasty (ninth century ad )
In 1969–70, a single Tang dynasty blue‐spotted Gongyi sherd was found at Siraf, Iran, the main trading port on the Persian Gulf in the early Islamic period. This is the only known example of Chinese blue‐and‐white ware, whether low‐ or high‐fired, found in the Middle East from such an early date. The sherd provides direct archaeological evidence for the Indian Ocean trade between China and the Middle East in the ninth century ad . The body paste,…

Bilad al‐Qadim revisited
In comparison to our understanding of pre‐Islamic occupation and land use on Bahrain, that of the Islamic period has remained less well known. In connection with the building of a visitor centre at the Al‐Khamis Mosque and the planning of an associated heritage trail, renewed archaeological research has taken place in Bilad al‐Qadim, an archaeologically important area of Islamic settlement in the north‐east of the main island of Awal. This has in…
The Silk Road or the Sea
This article considers the movement of commodities manufactured in southern Iraq during the Sasanian and Early Islamic periods to the furthest eastern extremity of the Old World: to the archipelago of Japan. In particular the focus is on two categories of non-perishable finds that survive within the archaeological record: glass vessels and turquoise blue alkaline glazed ceramic jars. We begin by providing an outline of the definition and dating o…
Opaque Glazed Wares
Opaque Glazed Wares represent one of the main glazed ware industries manufactured in Iraq during the Abbasid period. This type of pottery has attracted considerable attention within the field of Islamic ceramic research for a variety of reasons. Opaque Glazed Wares are central to our understanding of important technical and stylistic changes that occurred during the ninth century, which laid the foundations for many of the later glazed ware tradi…
Sasanian Walls, Hinterland Fortresses and Abandoned Ancient Irrigated Landscapes
The 2007 season yielded significant new insights into settlement expansion into the land north of the line of the Gorgan Wall and the later abandonment of these sites in the steppe, prior to the construction of the Wall. It also provided us with a better understanding of Sasanian hydraulic engineering and the date and strategic role of large square fortifications south of this linear barrier. Via underwater archaeology, we explored installations …
The Bushehr Hinterland Results of the First Season of the Iranian-British Archaeological Survey of Bushehr Province, November-December 2004
Compte rendu de la prospection geomorphologique et archeologique de la province de Bushehr en Iran. Issue d’un partenariat anglo-iranien, le projet poursuivait trois buts initiaux : clarifier la nature et la chronologie des implantations cotieres sur le Golfe persique ; rechercher les temoignages des contacts entre l’Iran cotier, la Mesopotamie et la peninsule arabique durant le VIe et le Ve millenaire av. J.C. ; recolter des donnees concernant l…
