    Archaeology of East Asian shipbuilding
    Summary note
    In an examination for a wide array of ships from the 11th to the 19th century and from China, Korea, and Japan, Kimura extrapolates in three detailed case studies, how ships of the Yellow Sea were constructed. Chinese junks and Japanese dhows were known throughout the world, and this work will show why this innovative design has survived the century.
