The Arabian Gulf has, since the early 1970s, been one of the most promising new areas of research in ancient Near-Eastern archaeology. This account attempts to synthesize the archaeology and history of this region from the beginning of human settlement.

The period from Alexander the Great to the coming of Islam, including full discussion of the history of Christianity in the area, comprises this second volume, in which Potts combines the literary evidence from Greek, Roman, Syrian and Arab sources with an overview of archaeology.
