Sounds like the only things headed for the museum are from late antiquity, and that’s probably only because there is so little of interest from the muzzie era.

Wasn't this part of the Bahraini satrapy of the various Persian (Achaemenid, Seleucid, etc) and I believe most of that area except for Bahrain was barren until the middle 20th century.
I wonder what these cities are from? Maybe related to Dilmun and as connector ports between Mesopotamia and the Harappan civilisation?

8000 bc AND the Islamic era? Quite a big time gap there.didn’t the Islamic Era begin around 660 AD?
