Dilmun

Articles on the ancient Bronze Age civilization known as Dilmun, roughly located in present-day Bahrain. Dilmun traded extensively with the ancient Indus people and adapted some of its practices, like the use of seals.

The westward transmission of Indus Valley sealing technology: origin and development of the ‘Gulf Type’ seal and other administrative technologies in Early Dilmun, c.2100–2000 BC

A very interesting and informative article that starts bringing the adjacent ancient state of Dilmun on the Arabian Gulf (many of the finds have been in present day Bahrain) to light, and what must have been a very rich trade and cultural relationship with ancient Indus cities.
