Beginning in the mid 1400s the Maritime Silk Route witnessed the largest known expansion of global trade. But the legacy of artefacts retrieved from this time has not been appropriately understood because the objects were mostly salvaged and dispersed without recording the archaeological details of their find-spots. Our multilateral consortium aims to discover the cultural value of the largest Southeast Asian ceramic collections in Indonesia and Australia with archaeological science. By employing and enhancing international conventions, the project will generate new knowledge about this decisive epoch in world history and build capacity to preserve the underwater cultural heritage of our region for future generations.

从15世纪中期开始，海上丝绸之路见证了全球贸易的最大扩张。但是，从这个时候取回的文物遗产还没有得到适当的理解，因为这些物品大多被打捞和分散，而没有记录他们发现地点的考古细节。我们的多边联盟旨在通过考古科学发现印度尼西亚和澳大利亚最大的东南亚陶瓷收藏品的文化价值。通过利用和加强国际公约，该项目将产生关于世界历史上这一决定性时代的新知识，并建设为子孙后代保护本区域水下文化遗产的能力。
