520 Questions about the cultural exchange of both knowledge
and material goods are just as topical today as in years
gone by. These questions have gained increasing attention
from scholars since the 1980s when the term 'transfers
cultures' by historians arose. However, this book provides
a completely new approach in this context by
interdisciplinary investigation of cultural exchanges
based on chosen objects from shipwrecks and land,
significant written documents and verifiable transfer of
knowledge. The publication combines studies from
humanities and natural sciences. Thus, historians,
archaeologists, and pharmacists have investigated the way
of transfer by means of material and immaterial goods,
such as ship lists, medicine, metal ware, exotic animals
and Asian objects as well as ship constructions. They set
out, the continuity and discontinuity of cultural exchange
based on moving objects depending on different conditions
such as region, time, demand and availability. The
innovative contributions of the publication aim to improve
the understanding of cultural exchange by sea, as well as
its reflection on land in the Early Modern Time and are
the results of a workshop, which took place in the German
Maritime Museum Bremerhaven, a Research Institute of the
Leibniz Association, in 2015
