The first extensive scholarly ethnographic account of Marsh Arab life was "Marsh Dwellers of the Euphrates Delta" (1962), by Iraqi anthropologist S. M. Salim. An ethnoarchaeological study of the material culture of the Marsh Arabs has been published by Edward L. Ochsenschlager: "Iraq's Marsh Arabs in the Garden of Eden" (University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 2004).
