Inscribed inside the front wrap "Til Glob med bedste hilsener, fra Karen". Peter Glob (1911-85), Frifelt's teacher at the University of Aarhus, had inspired her interest in Gulf archaeology. Glob had travelled to Bahrain at Geoffrey Bibby's suggestion to explore Dilmun culture. In 1954 he discovered the Temple of Barbur, which Danish expeditions excavated during 1954-62. Frifelt worked with Glob and Bibby's Danish expeditions in Bahrain during 1959-65, before, with Glob's encouragement, moving to the UAE, where she worked at various locations including Buraimi, Hili and Umm an-Nar. This led her to propose a link between the societies of the Oman Peninsula and Mesopotamia, suggesting that the UAE in antiquity "was anything but peripheral". In 1972 she discovered and excavated tombs in Wadi Suq, and in 1975 established parallels between material culture here and on Bahrain (Soren Blau, "Out of Anonymity", Arab. arch. epig. 2004: 15: 11?19).
