Excavations in 1958-1963 of two tells on the island of Failaka in Kuwait, Tell F3 and Tell F6, uncovered a small Dilmun community from the second millennium BC. The results of these excavations have been presented in five monographs dealing with the stamp and cylinder seals (Kj rum 1983), the pottery (H jlund 1987), the architecture (Kj rum & H jlund 2013), the stone vessels (Hilton 2014), and the beads (Andersson 2022). The present monograph, the sixth and final, presents the remaining objects from these excavations, that is, copper weapons, tools and ornaments, crucibles, moulds and ingots, metal analyses (Weeks et al.), cuneiform inscriptions (Marchesi), miniature sculptures (Pittman & Mulder), and artefacts of stone (Hilton), pottery, glass (Andersson), bone, ivory, shell, gold, plaster, pearls, silver, iron and bitumen (Strehle). The concluding chapter gives an overview of the development of the Bronze Age settlement of Failaka.
