This book focuses on prehistoric East Asian maritime cultures that
pre-dated the Maritime Silk Road, the "Four Seas" and "Four Oceans"
navigation system recorded in historical documents of ancient
China. Origins of the Maritime Silk Road can be traced to
prosperous Neolithic and Metal Age maritime-oriented cultures
dispersed along the coastlines of prehistoric China and Southeast
Asia. The topics explored here include Neolithisation and the
development of prehistoric maritime cultures during the Neolithic
and early Metal Age; the expansion and interaction of these
cultures along coastlines and across straits; the "two-layer"
hypothesis for explaining genetic and cultural diversity in south
China and Southeast Asia; prehistoric seafaring and early sea
routes; the paleogeography and vegetation history of coastal
regions; Neolithic maritime livelihoods based on
hunting/fishing/foraging adaptations; rice and millet cultivation
and their dispersal along the coast and across the open sea; and
interaction between farmers and maritime-oriented
hunter/fisher/foragers. In addition, a series of case studies
enhances understanding of the development of prehistoric navigation
and the origin of the Maritime Silk Road in the Asia-Pacific
region.
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.

This open access book presents multidisciplinary research on the
cultural history, ethnic connectivity, and oceanic transportation
of the ancient Indigenous Bai Yue ( ) in the prehistoric maritime
region of southeast China and southeast Asia. In this maritime
Frontier of China, historical documents demonstrate the development
of the "barbarian" Bai Yue and Island Yi ( ) and their cultural
interaction with the northern Huaxia ( ) in early Chinese
civilization within the geopolitical order of the "Central
State-Four Peripheries Barbarians-Four Seas". Archaeological
typologies of the prehistoric remains reveal a unique cultural
tradition dominantly originating from the local Paleolithic age and
continuing to early Neolithization across this border region.
Further analysis of material culture from the Neolithic to the
Early Iron Age proves the stability and resilience of the
indigenous cultures even with the migratory expansion of Huaxia and
Han ( ) from north to south. Ethnographical investigations of
aboriginal heritage highlight their native cultural context,
seafaring technology and navigation techniques, and their
interaction with Austronesian and other foreign maritime
ethnicities. In a word, this manuscript presents a new perspective
on the unique cultural landscape of indigenous ethnicities in
southeast China with thousands of years' stable tradition, a
remarkable maritime orientation and overseas cultural hybridization
in the coastal region of southeast China.

This book focuses on the archaeological and historical research on
the seaport heritage of galleon navigation in Asia-Pacific region.
It reconstructs the Manila Galleons' era of early maritime
globalization, established and operated by Spanish navigators from
the 16th to 19th centuries. The galleons sailed across the Pacific
via the hub seaports and trade centers of Manila in the Philippines
and Acapulco in Mexico, forming a prosperous sea route connecting
eastern Asia and New Spain on the American continent for more than
250 years. This pioneering navigation of the pan-Pacific regions
promoted early global maritime trade along the new Maritime Silk
Road between the East and the West. Written by archaeologists and
cultural historians from America, Mexico, Japan, the Philippines,
Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it presents the latest
investigations and research on the galleon-affiliated seaports,
including Acapulco and San Blas in Mexico, Guam, Manila in
Philippines, Yuegang (Crescent Harbor), Xiamen (Amoy), Keelung and
Macao in China, Nagasaki in Japan. This joint research sheds new
light on the history of navigation and maritime trade between
galleon-affiliated harbors; the origin, production, transport and
trade of the galleon cargo; social cultural exchange along the new
Maritime Silk Road in the pan-Pacific region; and the history of
maritime globalization in last 500 years. It offers a new
perspective on maritime archaeology and traces the different stages
of the galleon trade and affiliated maritime history, including
"Yuegang Outbound", "Manila Entrepotting" and "Bound for Acapulco",
presenting a panoramagram of Spanish pan-Pacific trade and early
maritime globalization.
