On the strength of the new data which has emerged in the last two decades in the form of archaeological findings, as well as new techniques such as GIS modeling, the authors collectively demonstrate the existence of a very early global maritime trade. From architecture to cuisine, and language to clothing, evidence points to early connections both within Asia and between Asia and other continents-well before European explorations of the Global South. The human stories presented here offer insights into both the extent and limits of this global exchange, showing how goods and people traveled vast distances, how they were embedded in regional networks, and how local cultures were shaped as a result. 517 $aMaritime Silk Road 606 $aArchaeology$2bicssc 606 $aGeneral & world history$2bicssc 606 $aMaritime history$2bicssc 610 $aArchaeology, maritime exchange, global trade, maritime Silk Road 615 7$aArchaeology 615 7$aGeneral & world history 615 7$aMaritime history 700 $aBillé$b Franck$4edt$0891383 702 $aMehendale$b Sanjyot$4edt 702 $aLankton$b James$4edt 702 $aBillé$b Franck$4oth 702 $aMehendale$b Sanjyot$4oth 702 $aLankton$b James$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595086403321 996 $aThe Maritime Silk Road$93025528 997 $aUNINA
