Title A name given to the resource 2021 Session 9: Museums, Public Outreach and Conservation Subject The topic of the resource Session 9 papers Description An account of the resource Abstract Trade along the Maritime Silk Road has been going on for many centuries. Museum collections show a visible record of objects that were traded and historical sources provide important information of how this developed over time. Since the 1970’s many shipwrecks have been discovered that give an even better understanding of this intricate network. While more and more of these shipwreck are now being excavated in an archaeological manner, in the past most of them were salvaged for mainly commercial purposes. Many of these pieces have end up in museum collections. In this session several museums and institutions will give their approach on how they present this material, whether from an archaeological excavation, a commercial salvage or both. Which issues are addressed and what message do they convey to a wider public? The Princessehof will present about their current exhibition Sunken Treasures showing ceramic cargo from various shipwrecks. Featured will be a selection of 7 shipwrecks – from the 9th to 19th century – that show the long and rich history of the Maritime Silk Road. To highlight the vital role of underwater archaeology to preserve this history the museum cooperates with the Dutch Cultural Agency (RCE). The RCE will provide their view in this session on presenting this kind of material and the issues that come at play, including the controversy involved. The National Museum of Korea will present about the Sinan shipwreck. In 2016 the museum had a major exhibition on the Sinan shipwreck, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the excavation in 1976. It marked the beginning of underwater archaeology in Korea. The museum now still has a permanent display to tell the story of this remarkable find that contained crucial information on trade between China and Japan in the 14th century.

Title A name given to the resource A Museum Project: Case Study of the National Museum of Prehistory, Taiwan of the ‘The Voyage 30,000 Years Ago” Project and Oceanic Environmental Education Program Description An account of the resource The National Museum of Prehistory (NMP) in Taiwan is the only national museum in eastern Taiwan and an important anthropology museum. The NMP has been working together with the National Museum of Nature and Science in Japan during three years to develop the program “Holistic Reenactment Project of the Voyage 30,000 Years Ago”. The aim of this project was to look into the origin of the Japanese people by testing whether it is possible to travel to the Japanese archipelago from Taiwan by using a raft. The project team inferred that ancient humans were most likely to use the Kuroshio Current to travel from Taiwan to the Okinawa Islands. In recent years, a succession of human skeletons from more than 20,000 years ago have been unearthed in Okinawa. As such, based on the distribution of animals, ocean Currents, Paleolithic human remains, DNA from unearthed skeletons, and social behaviors, it has been estimated that humans have occupied the islands of Okinawa for some 30,000 years. There is a strong possibility that these prehistoric settlers found their way to Okinawa by sea from Taiwan. Two bamboo rafts were built by a Taiwanese indigenous raft-maker to test this hypothesis. The knowledge and techniques of building bamboo rafts as practiced by Taiwan’s indigenous people are listed as intangible cultural heritage. The techniques and knowledge of making rafts are disappearing. We have tried to record how the rafts were made. In this study, we can see how museums can use intangible cultural heritage not only by collecting, protecting, researching and exhibiting this material, but also interpreting and representing it. In addition the NMP will present their results from the oceanic environmental education program developed over two years.

Title A name given to the resource Sunken Treasures – Shipwrecks and the Maritime Silk Road Description An account of the resource In 2019 the exhibition Sunken Treasures was organised at the Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics. Featured are the ceramic cargoes of eight shipwrecks - from the 9th to 19th century - that show the long and rich history of the Maritime Silk Road. Asian ceramics, and in particular Chinese porcelain and stoneware, are often part of the remaining cargoes of these shipwrecks. This makes them a valuable source to gain knowledge on maritime trade in this region and in particular to trace the spread of Chinese ceramics. To highlight the vital role of underwater archaeology to preserve this history the museum cooperated for this exhibition with the Dutch Cultural Agency (RCE). The RCE has helped in setting up a constructive way to present this kind of material and the issues that come at play, including the controversy involved. By presenting this material in a larger context, the museum believes that is acceptable from an ethical point of view to use these commercially salvaged materials in the exhibition and that visitor are stimulated to critically reflect on what actually makes up the ‘sunken treasures’.
