abstract = "Resurgent East Arabian pearl fishing and trade is apparent by the mid-1st mill. BCE. Strong intercontinental demand for pearls from the 1st cent. BCE prompted a transition to large-scale operations. Pearl diving probably experienced a gradual decline from the late 3rd cent. CE, re-emerging as a flourishing enterprise in the Early Islamic period.",
