摘要:

Fernand Braudel describes the development of timber trade and supply as one of the most important chapters in the integration of the northern regions of Europe and of European consumption chains. Likewise, other historians argue that timber made the processes of accumulation in world history possible, directly or indirectly. The need for timber for shipbuilding was paramount in this historiographical framework. These studies have been notably enriched thanks to the increase in interdisciplinary analyses by introducing interesting perspectives from historical ecology and dendroarchaeology. Nevertheless, a truly interdisciplinary and collaborative investigation still demands answers to questions raised by the role of wood as a commodity and as a natural resource related to the industrial and technological development of Early Modern centuries. This presentation will try to clarify what these questions might be and the research problems that are still latent in such interdisciplinary projects.
