In the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople served not only as an administrative, military, and religious center, but also as one of trade and commerce. The city was selected as the new imperial capital due to its geographical advantages, its vasthinterland, its situation as an ideal vantage point for travel by land and sea, and its safe natural harbors, making it a perfect location fo trade. Considering that medieval Anatolia, and especially Constantinople, was located at the center of a broad trade network and was a center of both production and consumption, trade is rightfully a continuing subject matter of Byzantine studies. In addition, since 2004, the Directorate of the Istanbul Archaeological Museums has carried out archaeological research in Üsküdar, Sirkeci, and Yenikapi, as part of the Marmaray and Metro projects. The excavations have revealed spectacular artifacts and new knowledge on Byzantine trade, ship-building technology, and ships and their cargo. Inlight of harbor excavation results and information accumulated from other ongoing research, it wastheright time to re-evaluatetrade in Byzantium. New findings and knowledge arising from the Yenikapi excavations, in particular, gave reason to revisit issues of trade in Byzantium again.The articles collected in this volume derive from papers presented at the Third International Sevgi Gönül Byzantine Studies Symposium on 'Trade in Byzantium' held in Istanbul on 24¿27 June 2013.

This extremely unusual trade card for the firm of E. Brandsma in Amsterdam dealers in tea seems to be a VERY EARLY EXAMPLE OF TRANSLUCENT PLASTIC. Alexander Parkes developed a product the first thermoplastic in the 1850's by treating cellulose with nitric acid to form a transparent and elastic material know then as Parkesine. Parkesine was patented in 1856 and unveiled at the 1862 Great Exhibition. Parkes attempted to develop it commercially but failed due to the high cost and general production difficulties. It was usually produced in rectangular plaques such as here.
