About the Book


About the Author:

Alok Kumar Kanungo is an assistant research professor in IIT Gandhinagar. He was born in Odisha and grew up in close contact with many indigenous communities of eastern and north-eastern India. His early childhood experiences led him to eventually focus on archaeological and ethnographic studies of indigenous and ancient technology. For the last two decades, Dr. Kanungo has travelled and documented the rich heritage of the Nagas of northeast India, and the Bondos and Juangs of Odisha both in the field and in museums across Europe and the UK. He has worked in many areas where it is difficult to say where anthropology or history stops and archaeology begins. He has studied and published extensively on the subject of glass and glass-bead production and written or edited fifteen books and seventy research articles and book chapters. He has been the recipient of many prestigious awards including SPARC, Humboldt, Fulbright and Homi Bhabha Fellowships. He has lectured in many universities and research institutes in Taiwan, England, USA, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Italy, France, Turkey, Malaysia, Germany and Thailand, besides India.

Laure Dussubieux is a chemist specialized in the determination of the compositions of ancient artefacts made from synthesized or natural glass, metals and stones. She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Orléans (France) in 2001 with a dissertation focussed on the use of laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to study the provenance and the circulation of ancient glass beads around the Indian Ocean. Prior to her appointment at the Field Museum, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Institution (Museum Support Centre, Maryland, USA) where she developed the application of LA-ICP-MS to the study of ancient gold and the use of portable X-Ray Fluorescence to survey cultural artefacts. Since 2004, she has managed the Elemental Analysis Facility (EAF) at the Field Museum and her current title is a research scientist. At the EAF, in a little more than a decade, in addition to her own research on ancient glass from South and Southeast Asia, she facilitated more than 150 projects dealing with questions related to the archaeology of cultural production, interaction and exchange.
