I am working on an article regarding the exploitation of fish (and other
marine resources) in Dilmun during the Early Dilmun period (c. 2200-2000
BC). And I need some help with regard to fish terminology in order to be
able to make statements regarding fishing (processing) techniques and
possible trade patterns. Due to work obligations I am not able to visit my
library for at least two weeks and I need this information rather quickly.
Hopefully, anyone of you is able and willing to help me out. Your help will
be highly appreciated.
