Throughout the 650 C.E. to 1750
C.E. era, the Indian Ocean coastal regions experienced changes and continuities economically as commerce evolved. Between 650 C.E. and 1750 C.E there were many continuities such as the use of the same trade routes and importance of the major goodsspices in India also remained. The monsoon winds were used by merchants and traders constantly in order to get from one place to another. Trading items such as spices from India, ivory and gold from Africa, and precious metals and luxury items from China, remained the same and were still transported to India throughout this time period. Another continuity would be the the use of trading ports and storehouses. The trading ports allowed goods from the interior of Africa to be transported to the merchants of India and other Pacific Islands. In the time period between 650 C.E.and 1750 C.E. there were many changes. This involved the increase of maritime navigational technology and the introduction of Islam to Africa. While trading goods remained constant, religion was spread through the merchants. The expansion of Islam gave way to religious change for African merchants and kings, arising change in interconnections; moreover expeditions took place which brought on trading ties with essential exports.

Indian Ocean trade was dominated by different rulers. These included the Indians, the Arabs, the
