Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American Society for Oceanic History John Lyman Book Award in Naval and Maritime Reference Works and Published Primary Sources - Honorable Mention In this innovative study, Jun Kimura integrates historical data with archaeological findings to examine a wide array of eleventh- through nineteenth-century ships from China, Korea, and Japan. Chinese junks and Japanese sailing ships were known throughout the world, and this work illustrates why their innovative designs have survived the centuries. Kimura presents an extensive dataset of excavated coastal and oceangoing ships that traveled the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. Three detailed case studies include the Shinan and Quanzhou wrecks and the Takashima underwater site. Using travel documents, cargo manifests, iconographic paintings, and other descriptive resources, as well as the archaeological evidence of hull components, wooden timbers, and iron remains, Kimura sheds new light on East Asian shipbuilding traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the proceedings of the international academic workshop on “Early Navigation in the Asia-Pacific Region: A Maritime Archaeological Perspective” held from June 21-23, 2013 at Harvard University campus and organized by Harvard-Yenching Institute. It includes high-quality papers focusing on the historical shipwrecks investigated by underwater archaeologists from Eastern Asian, including southern China, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, and North America, including California, Oregon and Washington in the US, as well as Mexico. These investigations reveal the history of the early pan-Pacific navigation and maritime globalization from the 16th to the 18th century, covering the background and formation, concept and practice, as well as the results and influence of this early globalization and global economy, emphasizing the maritime archaeological evidence of Spanish exploration of transportation between East Asia and North America. The book provides an excellent opportunity for maritime archaeologists from both sides of the Pacific to share the latest findings and new developments in maritime archaeological exploration. It discusses 16-18th century nautical trade and maritime cultural history and provides a comprehensive overview of research work in the Asia-Pacific region.

Book Chinese Ceramics from the Phanom Surin Shipwreck  Thailand  Evidence for Maritime Trade Between China and the Indian Ocean Region Before the 10th Century AD

Download or read book Chinese Ceramics from the Phanom Surin Shipwreck Thailand Evidence for Maritime Trade Between China and the Indian Ocean Region Before the 10th Century AD written by Pornnatcha Sankhaprasit and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-distance maritime trade flourished between China and the Indian Ocean region during the ninth and 10th centuries AD. Archaeological and historical research have revealed several ancient entrepôts in Southeast Asia that were significant passageways for ships engaged in this trade; however, the research contained only a limited number of shipwrecks. Shipwrecks discovered in Indonesian waters testify to the rise of these maritime connections, with ships built using ligature fastenings transporting cargos dominated by Chinese ceramics. The latest witness to this phenomenon, the Phanom-Surin shipwreck, was discovered in 2013 and since has been excavated archaeologically. The wide variety of ceramics recovered from its hull attest to the preferred merchandise at the time of the ship's sinking. -- The Phanom-Surin ceramic assemblage includes green-glazed and dark brown sherds with interesting characteristics, which are the subject of this study. This research aims to identify the origin of these artefacts and to determine their function on board the vessel. Results from this work could help date the vessel and provide insights into regional consumption. Initial examination included morphological and stylistic investigations of the ceramics. The stylistic analysis and pottery assemblage are used to determine typology. This is assisted by a comparative approach applied to other relevant collections, especially those from contemporaneous shipwreck sites. -- The Phanom-Surin shipwreck contained roughly fifteen green-glazed ceramic vessels of various sizes and a single dark brown unglazed jar. Both types exhibit attributes linking their manufacture to southern China during the Tang dynasty (618-906 AD). These jars have been found on numerous archaeological sites in the western Indian Ocean region and in Southeast Asia, and also have been recovered from several shipwrecks in the Java Sea. Based on their production, quantity and contents, it is determined that these ceramics were utilitarian in nature and were admired by both local and international merchants.

Book Southeast Asian Ceramics

Download or read book Southeast Asian Ceramics written by John N. Miksic and published by Editions Didier Millet. This book was released on 2009 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asia is known to many as a region teeming with tourist destinations, economic opportunities and ex-colonies, but a lesser known facet is its colourful and myriad cultures in which ceramics form an integral part of the social fabric. Focusing primarily on the Classical Period (800-1500 CE), this book views ancient Southeast Asian culture through the lens of ceramic production and trade, influenced but not completely overshadowed by its powerful neighbour, China. In this landmark publication, noted archaeologist and scholar John N. Miksic constructs a vivid picture of the development of Southeast Asia's unique ceramics. Along with three contributing authors - Pamela M. Watkins, Dawn F. Rooney and Michael Flecker - he summarizes the fruits of their research over the last forty years, beginning in Singapore with the founding of the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society in 1969. The result is a comprehensive and insightful overview of the technology, aesthetics and organization, both economic and political, of seemingly diverse territories in pre-colonial Southeast Asia. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in the economic history of the region, and also for anyone who seeks a better understanding of the brilliant but too often underestimated material culture of Southeast Asia.
