sunday Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The big advantage of a Venice-like city is very low cost of transport, and that is most useful in cities with lots of trade, like port cities. Most Venetian commercial family firms had a warehouse in the lower floors of their city dwellings, and transport from ship to warehouse could be done in boats with a few rowers, even only one. Amsterdam's canals had dual purposes as defensive works and transport routes. Mexico City, as a stone-age population center, had little foreign trade, mostly slaves and luxury items. Foodstuff was growth in the lake, and here the canals were very useful, probably allowing the city to reach its pre-Spanish size. But that size could also be maintained using Renaissance-era transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 They are finding incredible amounts of stuff up there, even textiles and snow shoes. They have even found pass markers they laid out, to make herding the reindeer easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only aspire to the level of stoicism expected, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
