manufacture were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about 900), Morocco (about 1100), and France (1189) In general, the pattern of accepting the borrowed invention was the same everywhere Paper was first imported into each area as a luxury, then in ever-expanding quantities as a staple product Finally, usually within one to three centuries, local manufacture started
Diffusion by intermediate contact occurs through the agency of third parties Frequently, traders carry a cultural trait from the society that originated it to another group As an example of diffusion through intermediaries, Phoenician traders spread the alphabet, which may have been invented by another Semitic group, to Greece At times, soldiers serve as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait During the Middle Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two ways: they carried European culture to Arab societies of North Africa and brought Arab culture back to Europe In the nineteenth century Western missionaries brought Western-style clothing to such places as Africa and the Pacific islands
In stimulus diffusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention or development of a local equivalent A classic example of stimulus diffusion is the creation of the Cherokee syllabic writing system by a Native American named Sequoya Sequoya got the idea from his contact with the English; yet he did not adopt the writing system nor did he even learn to write English He utilized some English alphabetic symbols, altered others, and invented new ones
