"I am delighted to learn of the publication of South Asian Ceramics: Archaeology, Ethnography, Material Sciences and Global Connections. This impressive volume brings together leading scholars from around the world to present a comprehensive and multidisciplinary understanding of South Asia's ceramic traditions. By integrating archaeological evidence with ethnography, archaeometry, material science, epigraphy, production technology, residue and compositional analyses, glazing techniques, and studies of transregional exchange, the volume demonstrates how ceramics serve as enduring records of technological innovation, cultural interaction, and economic connectivity. The publication reflects the remarkable advances made in ceramic research and underscores South Asia's significant contributions to the history of technology and global cultural exchanges. Such collaborative scholarship exemplifies the value of combining scientific inquiry with archaeological interpretation, and the Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology has been steadfast in supporting such endeavours. I commend the editors and contributors for producing a work of lasting academic significance that will serve as an indispensable reference for researchers, students, museum professionals, and heritage practitioners, while inspiring future research in South Asian archaeology."~ Thiru.
