But even if the proportions of the alloy were less than ideal, the very existence of the tin and copper-both from outside Crete-tells us that the Minoans were moving around and trading by sea.

尽管合金的比例不理想,但来自克里特以外的锡和铜已足以证明米诺斯人当时曾四处流动,参与海洋贸易。
Indeed, Crete was a major player in the vast network of trade and diplomacy that covered the eastern Mediterranean-often focused on the exchange of metals, and all linked by maritime travel.
他们确实是整个东地中海巨大的贸易与外交网络中的一部分,常进行金属交易,全靠海路运输。
We asked the maritime archaeologist, Dr Lucy Blue of Southampton University, to tell us more:
南安普敦大学的航海考古学家露西布鲁博士说:
"The small bronze statuette from Minoan Crete, unique as it is, is also a very good indicator of this key commodity, bronze, that was sought after throughout the eastern Mediterranean.
克里特的这尊青铜小雕像是件很好的证物,让我们了解青铜是当时整个地中海东部地区需求巨大的重要商品。
Unfortunately, we have only a limited number of shipwrecks to substantiate these trading activities, but one of the shipwrecks that we have is that of the 'Uluburun'.
遗憾的是,我们尚未发现太多能证明这些贸易活动的沉船。
This was a vessel that was found off the Turkish coast.
但发现于土耳其的乌鲁布伦沉船可算其中之一。
The 'Uluburun' was carrying 15 tons of cargo, 9 tons of which was copper, copper in the form of ingots.
船上载有十五吨货物,其中九吨为铜锭。
In addition, the 'Uluburun' was carrying a very rich cargo-amber from the Baltic, pomegranates, pistachio nuts...there were also a wealth of manufactured goods, including bronze and gold statuettes,beads of different materials, large numbers of tools and weapons that were being carried on board.
其他货物也很丰富,如石榴、开心果和来自波罗的海的琥珀。还有很多手工制品,包括青铜和黄金雕像,各种材料制成的珠子,以及大量的工具和武器。
There's a wooden diptych, or essentially the first form of filofax, that would have been carried on board with wax inside, where they would have kept a note of the different cargoes that were being exchanged."
他们也发现了木制的记事板,备忘记事本或本质上的第一个表单,用蜡对内部进行封装,他们就会有不同的货物交换笔记。”
Despite the filofax, there are still many unanswered questions about Minoan civilisation.
参与了这些贸易的富裕的米诺斯文明,至今仍有许多未解之谜。
