Looking For Dilmun (Pelican S.) - Softcover
Dilmun was a land which stretched beyond the confines of Bahrain, as far north as Kuwait, and as far south as Saudi Arabia. The quest for the real Dilmun began when the author revisited Bahrain in order to explore the thousands of undated burial mounds scattered across the country. A seasons digging established the existence of a major civilisation dating from around 2300 BC. First published in 1969 this fascinating book of discovery tells the story of archaeological detective work with style and humour. It is re-issued here for a new generation of readers and introduced by Carl Phillips, one of the leading archaeologists of the region.

About the Author:
Geoffrey Bibby studied Arabic at Cambridge, having decided in his teens to be a Middle Eastern archaeologist (the curriculum did not then include Oriental archaeology), and learned about the practical side of excavation while digging at Hadrian s Wall in the north of England. His first job in the Middle East was with the Iaq Petroleum Company, which sent him to Bahrain. Bibby died aged 83 in 2001.
