For those interested I found an interesting article on Pearling in the Gulf titled, "The History and Prehistory of Pearling in the Persian Gulf" by Robert Carter. The paper presents an analysis and synthesis of historical and archaeological data on pearl-fishing in the PErsian Gulf. The history of pearling in the region is reviewed, from the earliest possible references to the mid 20th century, including economic and archaeological data.
