Sewn Boats of Southeast Asia: the stitched‐plank and lashed‐lug tradition

Pages 400-415 | Received 23 Aug 2019, Published online: 21 Oct 2021
 

Abstract

This article updates research into the sewn‐boat traditions of Southeast Asia with recent finds that provide evidence of the transition from stitched planks with lashed‐lug frames to planks fastened with dowels and locked dowels alongside lashed‐lug frames. The differences between Southeast Asian, East Asian, and Indo‐Arabic boatbuilding are discussed and the meaning of anomalies, such as the Maldivian dhonis, examined. Considering the known history of trade and exchange throughout the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, the lack of hybridization between boatbuilding traditions is noted.

Barcas cosidas en el sudeste asiático: La tradición de las tablas cosidas y las cuadernas atadas

Este artículo presenta un estado de la cuestión sobre las tradiciones de los barcos cosidos del sudeste asiático con novedades que aportan pruebas de una transición en la construcción naval, desde la técnica de las tracas cosidas con cuadernas atadas a las tracas unidas por cabillas fijadas por clavijas perpendiculares y las cuadernas atadas. Se discuten las diferencias entre la construcción naval de botes en el sudeste asiático, el este de Asia y el mundo indoárabe y se analiza el significado de excepciones como el dhonis de Maldivas. Teniendo en cuenta lo conocido sobre la historia de comercio e intercambio en todo el Mar de China Meridional y el Océano Índico, se observa una falta de hibridación entre las tradiciones de construcción de pequeñas embarcaciones.

Acknowledgements

I am grateful to Horst Liebner for extensive discussions and generously sharing the data on the Cirebon wreck he has at his disposal (now gathered in his still unpublished 2014 PhD). Last but not least, this article owes a lot to my Indonesian colleagues, with whom we surveyed and excavated many sites in Sumatra and who invited me to participate in the Punjulharjo ship survey and in the 2009 excavation, and allowed me to use the available data.
