Abstract: |
This paper is going to present some considerations concerning the change of trade routes from the Mediterranean to Southeast Asia during the 4th and 5th centuries CE. The question of how the change of trade patterns influenced specific views of the world should be raised. In addition, the unique opportunity that a study of trade holds for the understanding of change in culture should be highlighted. Archaeological evidence from the ancient emporium of Godavaya in southern Sri Lanka might exemplarily reveal that the principles of trade, exchange and change are general ones bearing upon the pre- and early history of any region.
