This newspaper comprehensive foreign media reported that the official website of Yale University in the United States recently released news，The school's professor of anthropology, Jessica Thompson, and others in the "Malawit's European Trade: Taking Glass Beads as Evidence"，Detailed discussion of the archeological excavation results from 2016 to 2019。29 small glass beads in caves about 25 miles from the lake shore of Malawi Lake in the central and eastern Africa are the bet365 Play online games most important discoveries of them。Except for a South Asia from the 15th and 17th centuries，The rest of the glass beads are made by Europe in the mid -19th century。Researchers Inference，Before the Europeans came to the East Coast of Africa，Local trade across the east coast and inland Africa has been active for several centuries。In the second half of the 19th century，Europeans established a trade system to the hinterland of Africa based on this local line。This discovery is of great significance for improving the history of global trade。

2016，Thompson and colleagues when looking for cultural relics in the Malawi era，Occasionally discovered these glass beads。Subsequent，bet365 live casino games Laure Dussubieux, a senior scientific researcher at Chicago Philde Natural History Museum in the United States analyzed the chemical composition of the beads。Du Subihe Discovery，Among them, 5 red and white pearl arsenic concentrations are extremely high，and this element is usually used to make opaque glass。These beads are likely to be the exchange product made by the British in the 19th century.。

Thompson emphasized，vendors in the Indian Ocean set up a century ago in European people with East Africa.，Arrived in East Africa inland，pioneering complex trade routes。In this archeology，The ingredients of a bead are the same as the beads produced by Joer produced in the port city of Joer Bet365 lotto review in the 19th century in the 19th century。This means that it may come to East Africa in the East Africa hundreds of years earlier than other European beads。Thompson and others also found two Indian Ocean shells with a history of more than 1,000 years，These shells are usually used by merchants as currency or exchanging treasures。From this we know，The glass beads that originated from Europe and India are entering East Africa in the East Africa through a more ancient trading network.。

The archeological discovery of Thompson and others has confirmed that East Africa inland residents have traded with the Indian Ocean for hundreds of years，Breaking the one -sided text record of bet365 best casino games Europeans with rich products。But，These humble little beads also reveal the history of Africa's exploitation。Thompson said，Businessmen in the Indian Ocean and Europe use small glass beads to replace Africa's resources unequally，For example, tree gum coconut oil for the varnish industry、The popular ivory in the European and American markets，even slaves that are transported to Sang Given Balt and other Indian Ocean Island Spice Plant。
