Imitations of Ubaid pottery were made in areas of limited circulation, implying that i was a highly desirable commodity. It is argued that in the context of the Gulf, Ubaid pottery carried connotations of wealth and/or high status, and should be regarded as an exotic good, comparable to Dalton’s ‘primitive valuables’ (Dalton 1977: 197-200). The lower Gul! is considerably poorer in Ubaid-related sites and pottery than the Central Gulf. This is < product of distance from source, and the geographical intervention of the Qatar peninsula At DA11, Dalma island (UAE), gypsum—plaster bowls with black-painted decoration were made in clear imitation of Ubaid pottery, which is also present at the site in small quantitie: (Beech et al. 2000, Carter forthcoming).
