    An overview of bitumen trade in the Near East from the Neolithic (c.8000 BC) to the early Islamic period

    ARABIAN ARCHAEOLOGY AND EPIGRAPHY, Issue 1 2010
    Jacques Connan
    The aim of the paper is to summarise the present state of knowledge concerning bitumen trade in the Near East from the Palaeolithic (70,000 BP) to the Early Islamic period. During the Palaeolithic and Early Neolithic period, bitumen utilisation was mostly concentrated in settlements close to oil seeps. From the Ubaid 3 period, bitumen from the Mosul area became more important and was traded as far as the southern Persian Gulf. The Uruk period is a turning point for Mesopotamian history as settlements evolved into city-states. These cities had a great need for raw materials, and this marks the beginning of large-scale exploitation of Hit bitumen. This bitumen was traded at settlements along the Euphrates, where a large trade network was established. Hit bitumen entered the Persian Gulf at the turn of the second millennium (Dilmun period). Bitumen from Iraq (Mosul and Hit) became predominantly used in most settlements along the southern coast of the Gulf. During this period Iranian bitumen was also exported and this supply tended to increase, especially during the Partho-Sasanian period. Dead Sea bitumen had its own exchange network, which was concentrated across present-day Israel and Egypt where it was extensively used for mummification. [source]
