Trade Routes of TP 1 Today we will work on our understanding of trade and explore three trade routes specific to Time Period I (1200 CE- 1450 CE) Label each of the 3 routes in a different color or use three different patterns (xxxx, ////, oooo)
3 Main Trade Routes Location • Silk Roads – land route across Eurasia • Indian Ocean Maritime System –around the Indian Ocean • Trans-Saharan Route – land route connecting Sub-Saharan Africa to the other 2 Eurasian Trade Systems
Who Traded? • Silk Roads – East Asians = producers; Everyone else = buyers; pastoralists = facilitators • IOMS – South East Asians, Chinese, East Africans, Indians & Arabs = traders; route connected eventually with the Mediterranean Sea • Trans-Saharan – Berbers = North African pastoralists and trade facilitators; West Africans = producers of gold, animals skins, ivory; East African = producers of animal skins, ivory • Europe – at this time was a crappy peninsula hanging off the edge of Asia. NOT VERY INVOLVED
