Geoarchaeology of Some Persian Gulf Ancient Harbours
Persian Gulf Ancient Harbours are among the most important maritime heritage sites in the Middle East. This book examines the geoarchaeology of ancient harbours in the Persian Gulf and analyzes the relationship between coastal geomorphology, climate change, sea-level fluctuations, tectonic activity, and maritime navigation.
Written by Majid Pourkerman, Nick Marriner, Christophe Morhange, and Morteza Djamali, this scientific publication provides a multidisciplinary study of historical harbour landscapes including Siraf and Bataneh.
The book combines archaeological evidence, sedimentology, geomorphology, remote sensing, and paleoenvironmental studies to understand how environmental processes influenced the rise and decline of ancient coastal settlements and trade networks in the Persian Gulf.
This publication is an important resource for researchers and students in geoarchaeology, coastal geomorphology, maritime archaeology, environmental studies, and Persian Gulf history.
