Ceramics are the alphabet of archaeology. India’s pottery traditions must be protected

'For seven to eight decades, the practice formed the crux of Indian archaeology and archaeological research. Today, ceramic studies have taken a giant leap with the application of scientific methods. Lipid analysis and organic residue analysis are bringing us closer to the past than ever before and scientifically cementing the assertions made by early scholars', says Disha Ahluwalia in her column.

Thank you Mughals once again 🙏 for inventing fire, oxygen, pottery, food, clothes, water and air, Sanskrit and festivals like rakshabandhan.

[@ashishkr.4075]

Interesting topic, thanks 👍

Nice

Why is this lady getting paid to repeat whats already on wikipedia? journalism in India is a joke. Go to museums, go to pottery workshop, re-create some old style from each period. Western journalism on such topics is more practical work, not zoom class room.

Because Indians lack scientific temper, even educated people.

Good One ❤ Keep Posting

I appreciate the good work 🙏👍👏 But it would be really interesting to hear something about pottery from the mouth of the Kumhar community.

It would be a great idea if you could have collaborated with a potter and produced the video
