	Old World Contacts/Merchants & Traders/Malacca
		Malacca's evolution from a small fishing village in the late 1200s into a major trade centre by 1400 shows how the commercial, social, ideological, and political products of cross-cultural contact overlap and reinforce each other.
		Malacca secured its dominant position on the Malay Peninsula, however, not just with weapons and armies, but by providing trade services indispensable to the surrounding local and regional economies, and to long-distance traders from distant countries.
		Malacca prospered as a trading port in the 1400s partly because of its advantageous geographical location.

	Ming shards found in Malacca
		With the arrival of Admiral Zheng He at Malacca, the Sultan saw this as an opportunity to be allies and gain the protection of the Mings to stop the harassment of Siam.
		Prior to the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese in 1511, envoys from Malacca continued to travel to China, but it appears that many of the visits were as much trade missions as diplomatic embassies.
		Therefore, since official voyages from China to Malacca (including a cargo that probably contained tribute exchange wares) ended before 1540's and the adoption of China's close-door policy, the shards I found may be from trade vessels bringing the porcelain pieces to Malacca waters for trade rather then 'tribute exchange wares'.
