Crossing the Indian Ocean before the Periplus: a comparison of pottery assemblages at the sites of Sumhuram (Oman) and Tissamaharama (Sri Lanka)
Abstract
There is a long tradition of studies of the Indian Ocean trade focused almost exclusively on the trade between Roman Egypt and India. Less attention has been paid to the formative period of early historical long‐distance trade in the Indian Ocean. The aim of this paper is to discuss some aspects of the development of this trade, based on an analysis of the South Asian pottery found at two different settlements: Sumhuram in the Sultanate of Oman and Tissamaharama in Sri Lanka.

In the citing paper
“Stratified data from Tissamaharama push Rouletted Ware (and Wheeler Types 10 and 18, all grouped as Fine Gray Pottery) back to the third to second centuries bce, thus predating Indo-Roman trade (Pavan & Schenk 2012).”

In the citing paper
“Some of the uncertainty stems from the almost parallel production in south India and Sri Lanka of a coarser “imitation” Rouletted Ware (Schenk 2014), also identified at Khor Rori (Pavan & Schenk 2012, Reddy 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
