The History of Ceramic Pottery in Myanmar Martaban and Mergui, harbours on the seacoast, might have been important links in the ceramic trade between China and India during the Song dynasty (907-1279), and possible also in the ceramic trade with Southeast Asia through Malacca. Goods were trans-shipped by junk or sent overland either to Pranburi or to Kui on the western shore of the Gulf of Siam for transport by caravan across the narrow isthmus to Tenasserim and thence downstream in small river boats to the port of Mergui. By the middle of the 15th century Ayuthia had lost control of Martaban, and the Mon capital of Pegu of the Pegu kingdom dominated the ports of Bassein, Syriam and Martaban which were well known to Chinese merchants by this time. www.potterycentre.com /content/view/14/2   (1473 words)

Andaman workshop final report The Ayeyarwady delta is building seaward at the rate of 5 km every hundred years, and the seaward advance of the gulf of Martaban at its 40 m depth contour is estimated at 55 km every hundred years. By early July the 2 layer winter regime ceases and is replaced by a 3 layer flow structure with weak (occasionally vanishing) deep outflow in the lowest 25 m, a thick intermediate inflow layer of cold low salinity water from the Gulf of Aden, and outflow in the near surface layer (upper 20 m). The dominance of the current associated with the gulf of Aden intrusion in July- September in Figure 3b is also clearly reflected in a low salinity signal (36.2-37.5) during the same time interval. www.ldeo.columbia.edu /res/fac/physocean/Andaman/andaman_report_final_ed.html   (8126 words)
