Presidential Young Investigator

这项总统青年研究员奖为肯诺耶博士提供了五年的支持。它允许他开发和获得考古研究技术方面的经验；继续他自己在巴基斯坦和印度的工作；以及开发新的教学框架。肯诺耶博士将学习：准备陶瓷薄片和应用岩相学分析技术；准备用于扫描电子显微镜分析的样品；使用双筒显微镜进行微观磨损分析；使用扫描电子显微镜和电子探针进行痕量元素分析；进行冶金分析，包括使用传统矿石和冶炼程序进行实验性复制；并开发了陶瓷复制和分析方法。有了这些技术，他既可以确定陶瓷、金属和其他材料的生产方法，在某些情况下还可以确定原材料的原产地。克诺耶博士目前正参与巴基斯坦哈拉帕遗址的一项重大考古发掘工作。将对贝壳、石材和金属矿石以及用于对外和国内贸易的制成品进行具体研究。他还将研究巴基斯坦的现代陶器制造和在印度的比德工作，以记录这些行业的传统技术方面，以及通过引进进口技术而发生的技术和社会适应类型。这将帮助他理解过去的文化和创新在变革中的作用。这项工作很重要，因为它将提高基诺耶博士的考古技能，有助于我们了解过去，并有助于制定创新的教学计划。

This Presidential Young Investigator award provides five years of support to Dr. Kenoyer. It permits him to develop and gain experience in techniques in archaeometric research; to continue his own work in Pakistan and India; and to develop new teaching frameworks. Dr. Kenoyer will learn to: prepare ceramic thin sections and apply techniques of petrographic analysis; prepare samples for S.E.M. analysis; conduct micro.wear analysis using binocular microscopes; conduct trace element analysis using S.E.M. and electorn probe; carry out metallurgical analysis, including experimental replication using traditional ores and smelting procedures; and develop methods of ceramic replication and analysis. With these techniques he can both determine the methods of production of ceramic, metal and other materials, and in some cases also determine points of origin of raw materials. Dr. Kenoyer is currently involved in a major archaeological excavation at the site of Harappa in Pakistan. Specific studies will be conducted to source shell, stone and metal ores as well as finished objects used in external and internal trade. He will also study modern pottery manufacture in Pakistan and bead working in India to record traditional technological aspects of these industries and types of adaptations, both technological and social that have occurred through the introduction of imported technology. This will help him to understand past cultures and the role of innovation in change. This work is important because it will improve Dr. Kenoyer's archaeological skills, contribute to our understanding of the past, and aid in the development of innovative teaching programs.
