Highlighting the collapse of India's traditional ceramic industry and its historical connections across the Indian Ocean, Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia, the book provides insights into the archaeological, ethnographic, and scientific study of South Asian ceramics, including their typology, symbolism, and technological advancements. It combines cutting-edge research in archaeometry, experimental studies, and conservation, offering tools to develop new ceramic research. It features seven comprehensive themes, from pyro technology to trade and cultural contact.

South Asian Ceramic is for researchers and students of archaeology, anthropology, and material culture, working in ceramics and South Asian history, cultural heritage, or material-based research.
