Pottery from Bahra 1 (Kuwait). New evidence for the presence of Ubaid culture in the Gulf

Summary/Abstract: Excavations at the site of Bahra 1 in northern Kuwait have contributed new evidence of interactions between the Gulf and Mesopotamia in the Ubaid period. Two distinct groups of pottery have been recognized at the site: Ubaid pottery of Mesopotamian origin and a Coarse Red Ware made most probably in the Gulf area. The paper presents pottery types and technology, and discusses the chronology of both ceramic groups, as well as their function and provenance.
