Abstract
Maritime Exchange and Localization across the South China Sea examines the changes that characterized the coastal societies around the South China Sea Basin during the Metal Age (500 BC–AD 500) and their links with the formation of a maritime exchange network in the region. Through case studies, the book documents the continuity, change, and expansion of prehistoric and protohistoric cultures as well as the activity of maritime traders and craftsmen and the impact of sea-crossing techniques and materials. Grounded in archaeological and historical analysis, it studies the use and spread of various types of mortuary containers, ornaments, and vessels, as well as megaliths and metallurgy. The volume questions how local communities engaged with and reacted to growing maritime exchanges by incorporating new knowledge, practices, tools, decorative styles, and artifacts originating from abroad. The book also emphasizes the dual role of indigenous agency and outside stimulus in fostering these exchanges, developing local networks, and establishing interconnected social and cultural systems and polities across the South China Sea, offering new insights on the interplay between regional influence and local evolution in protohistoric times.
