Working Bibliography as of 1/23

The Silkroad Foundation -- www.silkroadfoundation.org; The Silkroad Foundation
  • Run by a nonprofit scholarly organization whose mission statement is preservation and education. In that respect, likely to be extremely valuable. Has a wide range of information, so I’m bound to find something useful.

(after searching ‘Indian Ocean Trade in EbscoHost (V. GOOD SEARCH, USE IT AGAIN)) :

Margariti, Roxani Eleni. “Mercantile Networks, Port Cities, and “Pirate” States: Conflict and Competition in the Indian Ocean World of Trade before the Sixteenth Century”. Journal of the Economic & Social History of the Orient. Dec2008, Vol. 51 Issue 4, p543-577. 35p.
  • Is about Indian Ocean trade and the groups involved in it and so forth, not a particular trade good. So. Useful. Six years old, but that’s not a problem w/ such a historical subject.

“Intersections, Networks and the Genesis of Social Complexity on the Nyali Coast of East Africa”
  • (behind paywall, no good)

Heldaas Seland, Eivind. “The Persian Gulf or the Red Sea? Two axes in ancient Indian Ocean trade, where to go and why.” World Archaeology. Sep2011, Vol. 43 Issue 3, p398-409. 12p. 1 Chart, 1 Map.
  • Different subject than silk road or medieval Indian Ocean trade, but still potentially v. useful depending on final topic decision. Nature and culture of trade routes, yes, so.

Prange, Sebastian R. “'Measuring by the bushel': reweighing the Indian Ocean pepper trade.” Historical Research. May2011, Vol. 84 Issue 224, p212-235. 24p.
  • Potentially useful as a case study. More specific than general, but may provide valuable information and richen the understanding of my  topic.

FITZPATRICK, MATTHEW P. “Provincializing Rome: The Indian Ocean Trade Network and Roman Imperialism.” Journal of World History. Mar2011, Vol. 22 Issue 1, p27-54. 28p.
  • Will have info on Indian Ocean trade AND Rome’s connection to it, looks valuable.
