The research has focused on the excavation of a Dilmun settlement dating to the Early Dilmun period, around 2000 BC. The discovery and excavation of this settlement and its associated temple represent important additions to the archaeological heritage of Bahrain, and complement earlier discoveries at Barbar, Diraz, and Umm As-Sejjur. This book contains a full account of the excavation and finds from the Dilmun Temple at Saar. It discusses in detail the design and construction of the temple and provides invaluable new information about daily life, social customs and religious beliefs of the period. 606 $aTemples$zBahrain$zSa?r Site 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zBahrain$zSa?r Site 607 $aSa?r Site (Bahrain) 615 0$aTemples 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a939/.49 676 $a939.49 701 $aCrawford$b Harriet E.
