Dr Horst Liebner will examine archaeological finds, historic sources and current traditions to explore the practicalities behind Asian pre-modern maritime connections. How did people deal with the environmental factors that shaped sea-borne communications?  What drove people onto the sea, and how successful were they in pursuing their quests?  Who was involved in this traffic, and what can we know about its range and scope?  The paper will highlight the inter-dependability of nature, technical competence, organisational capabilities and models of authority, and question actors, purposes and the volume of the region’s historic far-distance voyaging. In doing so it will draw a somewhat different picture to what is commonly envisioned under the tag of the Maritime Silk Road.
