DESCRIPTION
The volume encapsulates the results of ongoing research on different aspects of the archaeology of the Indian Ocean: archaebotany; ethno-archaeology; maritime ethnography and numismatics. These issues have been discussed within the wider context of movements of communities accros the Indian Ocean-both fishing and sailing communities, as also travellers and traders. A range of textual sources, including those in Greak and Arabic have been analysed, together with representations in catography, the objective being to iniciate intrest in an holostic approach to early seafaring activity.
