For the past five years the British Institute of Persian Studies, supported by the British Museum, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and other institutions, has been excavating the site of Sīrāf, on the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf. Dr David Whitehouse here describes how his excavations have established that Sīrāf was already a port in the Sasanian period, indeed that it was the port of Gūr, and reviews the evidence for Sasanian maritime trade.
