The tin mines in present-day England were known thoughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. Tin from that island was shipped all the way to Mesopotamia thousands of years ago. Marine archaeology is pushing back the invention of cargo shipping.
By the way, did you know that the first people to arrive in Australia, it was 60,000 years ago, did so by boat? No kidding!

Thanks Blam. It's been forty years or so since Colin Renfrew et al documented seagoing obsidian trade in the Mediterranean islands, and there are still aquaphobes in the academy. |

Lots of Asian trade was developed because of the jade gate!
When did this trade shut down?
