Study of Mediterranean pottery and other material relating to early trade in the Indian Ocean.

Curator, Allahabad Museum

In my three month stay in the UK, I worked with Professor David Peacock and his team in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Southampton. We jointly wrote a paper on Mediterranean amphorae from Nevasa India. I produced a scond paper on " Impact of Indo-Roman trade of western India", which was published in the Journal of South Asian Studies of the British Academy. The award gave me the opportunity to initiate meaningful collaborations with scholars in the UK. I have delivered lectures at various institutes and academic gatherings in India and abroad. I was invited to be Guest Editor for a special issue " The Indian Ocean in Antiquity" of Man and the Environment, the journal of the Indian Society for Prehistorica and Quaternary Studies.
