This book brings together for the first time archaeological
findings from key ports throughout the Indian Ocean - the Red Sea,
South Arabia, the Gulf and India - to build up a balanced picture
of relations between East and West. Combined evidence from
artefacts and documents reveals a complex situation whereby
ordinary goods were carried alongside the more costly items - such
as pepper, aromatics and gems - that drove the trade. Here the
focus is on ordinary artefacts that uncover a network of Romans,
Arabs, Sasanians and Indians who participated in the trade. The
evidence from ceramics, especially, shows the interplay between
these different ethnic groups, where they lived, when the trade was
active, and even how it was organised.The account is arranged
geographically, drawing on new evidence from the author's
experience of archaeological sites and materials on the Red Sea and
in India. A final chapter sketches the changing fortunes of trade
between the first century BC and the seventh century AD in the
light of these important new archaeological discoveries.
