玻璃制造和珠子生产在印度是一个小规模工业，起源于公元前一千年的某个时间。尽管来自 212 个古代遗址（其中 36 个据称是制造遗址）的证据提供了对该行业背景和日期的一些了解，但与制造方法、功能和象征价值有关的问题似乎只能通过人种学证据来了解。这项研究结合了考古学和人种学数据以及文献证据，创造了印度玻璃珠行业的历史。作者详细研究了 19 世纪末英国政府创建的有关玻璃工业的报告和记录。
Glass-making and the production of beads was a small-scale industry in India originating some time in the first millennium BC. Although evidence from 212 ancient sites, 36 of which are claimed to be manufacturing sites, provides some insight into the context and date of the industry, issues to do with manufacturing methods, function and symbolic value seem only to be accessible through ethnographic evidence. This study combines both archaeologucal and ethnographic data, as well as literary evidence, to create a history of the glass bead industry in India. The author looks in detail at reports and records created by the British government in the late 19th century relating to the glass industry.
