The Persian Gulf
Dr Lloyd Weeks, archaeology professor specializing in southeastern Arabian Bronze Age sites, and Dr Steffen Laursen, Bronze Age curator expert on Dilmun and Gulf trade, explore the Persian Gulf as a Bronze Age maritime superhighway. They trace sea-level changes, shipping and copper trade, Dilmun’s role as a transshipment hub, coastal economies and tomb cultures, and why the Gulf’s trade networks mattered across millennia.
