The last piece of pottery1 makes this point very well. It's brown, it's a fragment of fired clay, and it's got bold raised decoration. It's pottery clearly made for cooking and for everyday use, the clay is local and the manufacture is distinctly African. And it shows that the African inhabitants of Kilwa, while happily enjoying and collecting foreign pottery, continued, as people always do, to cook in their own traditional way with their own traditional pots. And it's pots like this one that also tell us that the Africans were themselves sailing and trading across the Indian Ocean, because fragments like these ones have been found in ports across the Middle East. And we know from other sources that African merchants traded to India, and that cities of the Swahili strip were sending their own envoys2 to the Chinese court.

As I said at the start of this programme, when we put an ocean and not a country at the centre of our histories, it can radically3 change our perceptions of what happened in the past, and why. It's a theme that's been explored by Abdulrazak Gurnah:

最后一组陶片很好地证实了这一点。它们是棕色窑烧陶片,带着醒目的浮纹,是日常餐具或厨具,使用的黏土产于当地,工艺也具有明显的非洲风格。基尔瓦的?非洲居民在愉快地享用外来陶瓷的同时,也用自己的传统陶罐依传统的方式烹饪食物。这样的陶罐也证实了非洲人当年曾跨越印度洋进行贸易,因为在中东的港口也发现了类似的陶片。另有史料告诉我们,非洲商人曾去印度经商,斯瓦希里文化带中的诸座城市也曾向中国朝廷派遣使节。
