Summary of the Research Interest and Areas of Contribution

My doctoral research presented the chemical and petrological examination of the Harappan Ceramics from three regions in Gujarat. This study demonstrated the wider applications of several scientific methods in examining the ceramics and also its cultural implications. After completion of my doctoral research, I continued my research on proto-historic and early Historic ceramics by incorporating several methods such as traditional archaeological, ethnographic and scientific. These studies have enabled me to work towards understanding craft specialization, development of technology and its impact on ancient South Asian Society. These studies have inspired several students from South Asia to conduct research on South Asian Ceramics. In addition to this, I work towards appreciating and reconstructing palaeo-climate in central and western India. I have completed several research projects dealing with ancient technology and palaeo-climatology and currently I am working with fourprojects. I am also coordinating a project which plans to establish a museum at Sidhpur, a centre of pilgrimage for the Department of Tourism, Government of Gujarat.

Education

  • Ph.D. (1987) in Archaeology from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. The title of the Ph.D thesis is “Chemical and Petrological Studies in Ancient Indian Pottery”. This work dealt with analysing the Indus Valley Ceramics from three representative sites in Gujarat using a combination of archaeological, chemical and petrological studies. This work resulted in reconstructing ceramic manufacturing methods of the Indus Valley Period, identifying the provenance of their raw materials, clay paste preparation techniques, baking temperature and baking conditions.
