NOVA Online Sultan's Lost Treasure Asia's Undersea Archeology Although shipwreck archeology is relatively new in Asia, important finds are pointing the way toward the broader use of archeological evidence relative to the documentary history of this era of Chinese maritime expansion. The archeology of the Quanzhou ship presents evidence of an oceangoing commercial vessel comparable in size to the largest known European merchant ships of its time, which was engaged in trade of priority goods around the Indian Ocean from East Africa to the southeast coast of China. The archeological associations of both the ship's structure and its contents are ambiguous about the conduct of the trade, beyond the general implications of long-distance commerce and about whether the ship followed a coastline route or engaged in true oceanic voyaging. www.pbs.org /wgbh/nova/sultan/archeology.html   (1062 words)

Arctic: Long-term coastal occupancy between Cape Charles and Trunmore Bay, Labrador The Maritime Archaic Indians appear to have spread northward in the wake of alder expansion, which reached Hamilton Inlet by 7000 B.P., not far in advance of Indian groups. Finally, the low number of Late Prehistoric Indian sites in the survey area (and between Hamilton Inlet and the Quebec North Shore) reflects infrequent use of the coast south of Hamilton Inlet, which may be the result of a developed interior component of their economy. Coinciding with Maritime Archaic development and northern population expansion was a comparatively warm postglacial climate for the Northeast, dated to between 7000 and 4000 B.P.

Regions Central Asia - IIAS Newsletter Online The forthcoming volume is intended as an 'interdisciplinary' contribution to the history of Quanzhou and maritime trade in Southeast Asia. On September 26 and 27, 1997, an international conference on the study of maritime trade and the development of the Quanzhou region during the Song and Yuan dynasties (tenth to fourteenth centuries) was held in Leiden, the Netherlands.
