Geocache Description:

A bulk CD case in a 4000 year old burial ground

Saar Archaeological Dig
A settlement existed at Saar around 5,000 years ago in the Dilmun era. This ancient town was the subject of an annual dig by the London-Bahrain Expedition throughout the 1990s and much has been uncovered, including a temple, rows of houses and a central marketplace. You can even see a bread oven exactly like those still in use in some Bahraini villages today. A display of artefacts found at the site is exhibited in the portacabins, though many pieces are now in the National Museum.

Not much to say here.
Just go! Enjoy the scenery, archeaology and seek the cache!
I wouldn't look at the gallery if you want to find it for yourself.
Please do take an hour and explore the exhibits.
