Document Summary

We can find shipwrecks and look at its cargo. Shipwrecks tell us what is moving around the mediterranean; potentially who is moving it around the mediterranean, where it"s originating, the commodities, and goods found with the ship (what belonged to the crew) Uluburun shipwreck in the middle off the coast of turkey, and this is where the ship has gone (arrow directions); its cargo is moving around. There is also material on it that suggests that the material came down from other places such as the baltic, adriatic, in italy, etc. all over mediterranean. Red line shows that these goods are also coming from all the way from mesopotamia. This is telling us that long distance trade network is intense; moving from land to sea, and then moving it across the mediterranean sea. This is during the late 14th century bc: 1305 bc.
