The pottery of Tissamaharama (Sri Lanka) and its importance for maritime trade on the Silk Road of the Sea between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.

申请的目的是为完成在Tissamaharama进行的陶器研究的出版提供资金。陶器发展的范围从公元前5世纪到公元前13世纪。Kaak挖掘的田野工作(1992至2010年)结束。由Heidrun Schenk建立的Tissamaharama的陶器序列，为印度次大陆的历史提供了参考。它为研究印度洋从东至东南亚到西至红海和波斯湾的长途贸易的历史形成提供了考古基准。陶器序列为许多相关遗址的持续时间提供了可靠的考古迹象。它导致了对商业贸易关系的分化和它们在时间上的转移的理解。地层封闭的复合体是陶器序列的基础。有必要就有关背景的地层学进行初步工作。结果被收集在详细的平面图和一般地图中。这项工作还没有完全完成。对这一过程特别重要的是绘制分散在各个器皿上的陶器碎片的地图。齐萨马哈拉玛的陶器研究对南亚考古学和印度洋贸易的经济史做出了重要贡献。以下国家的挖掘机提供了比较材料：Sumhuram(阿曼：意大利-阿曼考古)、Berenike(埃及：美国-埃及考古)、Pattanam(印度：喀拉拉邦历史理事会考古)、孟加拉国Mahastangarh(孟加拉国-法国联合项目)和Sembian/Pacung(巴厘岛：澳大利亚-印度尼西亚考古)。来自Tissamaharama的陶器及其年代学对于印度早期文字的年代测定和研究同样具有很高的相关性。仅来自该网站的约4000个带有早期婆罗米人字母的碎片就是一个深厚的基础。除了一系列男性僧侣之外，女性佛名的出现频率尤其令人惊讶。几个泰米尔-婆罗米族的名字代表着与邻近的南印度的牢固联系和交流。

Purpose of the application is the funding to finish the publication of pottery research carried out at Tissamaharama. The spectrum of pottery development spans a time ranging from the 5th century BCE to the 13th century CE. The fieldwork of the KAAK excavation (1992 to 2010) is terminated. The pottery sequence from Tissamaharama, established by Heidrun Schenk, serves as reference for the history of the Indian subcontinent. It provides archaeological benchmarks to study the historical formation of long-distance trade across the Indian Ocean from Southeast Asia in the East to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf in the west. The pottery sequence provides reliable archaeological indications for the duration of many relevant sites. It leads to an understanding of the differentiation of mercantile trade ties and their shifting in time.Stratigraphicaly sealed complexes are the basis for the pottery sequence. Preliminary work on the stratigraphy of the contexts was necessary. Results were gathered in detailed plans and general maps. This work is not yet completely finished. Of particular significance for this process is the mapping of scattered pottery fragments of individual vessels. The pottery research of Tissamaharama contributes fundamentally to South Asian archaeology and to the economic history of the Indian Ocean trade. Comparative materials were provided by excavators from Sumhuram (Oman: Italian-Omani excavation); Berenike (Egypt: American-Egyptian excavation), Pattanam (India: excavation of Historical Council Kerala), Mahastangarh in Bangladesh (joint Bangladesh-France project) and Sembiran/Pacung (Bali: Australian-Indonesian excavation). The pottery from Tissamaharama and its chronology are likewise highly relevant for the dating and study of early script in India. About 4000 fragments with early Brahmi letters from the site alone are a profound basis. The frequency of female Buddhist names, apart from a range of male monks, is especially surprising. Several Tamil-Brahmi names speak for strong bonds and exchange to nearby Southern India.
