Abstract
The Danish expedition commenced work in Kuwait in February 1958. While a survey was being conducted on the mainland by P. V. Glob and T. G. Bibby, a group under the direction of the late A. Roussell began investigations on Failaka, the best-known of the several Kuwaiti islands in the Arabian Gulf .1 The area of greatest interest was found to be a cluster of low mounds spread over an area measuring roughly 2.5 km. square in the south-west corner of the island, where work continued through 1962-3. Since that time, work has been conducted on the island by a number of organizations. The Kuwaiti Department of Antiquities sounded the remains of what later turned out to be a small temple by the sea (see below) in 1964. T. Howard-Carter opened several small soundings in 1974-5, while an Italian mission from the University of Venice worked briefly in 1976. A brief electromagnetic investigation was conducted in 1982 by T. Howard-Carter and B. Fnbhlich, and finally, in 1983, a new programme of annual excavations was initiated by a French team under the direction of J.-F. Salles.
