Ceramic Exchange and the Indian Ocean Economy (AD 400-1275). Volume I: Analysis

Beschreibung

From AD 500-1000, the Indian Ocean emerged as a global commercial centre, and by around 750-800 a sophisticated trade network had been established. However, the Indian Ocean's commercial system has been understudied. This book documents the unique significance of ceramic finds as an indicator of long-term changes in the scale of maritime exchange

Autor

Seth M.N. Priestman's research focuses on the late antique and medieval archaeology of the Middle East, Transcaucasia, and the Indian Ocean world. He has recently held post-doctoral research positions with the Department Of Asia at the British Museum and the School of History Classics and Archaeology at The University of Edinburgh. A study he undertook of the finds from the major early Islamic port of Siraf in southern Iran held by the British Museum laid the foundation for his PhD. Seth has worked on fieldwork, projects, and has published widely in the field of Middle Eastern archaeology and ceramics research.
