Hi David, I'm working on archaeology of the "Dutch" outside the Low Countries, both in colonized and trading partner contexts (I'm a part/time research student at York). Many of those colonies were in the Indian Ocean. I'm looking at a specific building technique ('muurankers' - a way of 'stapling' a building together), and other material culture. I've not done any serious thinking about what I might write for the SHA conference..... possibly concentrating on somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but probably global in scope. With best wishes, Pat In message , David Petts <[log in to unmask]> writes >Hi >I am trying to put together a session on the Historical Archaeology of the >Indian Ocean for the SHA conference.
