N2 - This study offers new insights into the lively historical events that accompanied the determined emergence of a post-colonial Gulf in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries CE. It draws on recent archaeological and heritage studies, which are especially equipped to make a significant contribution to understanding the main social, political, and economic factors that came to shape this period of fundamental change. Of the many social transformations that occurred then, none was more important than the foundation and development of the modern emirate states of the southwestern coast of the Arabian Gulf. Al Zubarah was an essential catalyst in the formation of a new Gulf epitomized by Arab independence, born of commercial acumen, steely political determination, and the expression of an independent and distinct cultural identity. The site was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2013.
