Purpose of the application is the funding to finish the publication of pottery research carried out at Tissamaharama. The spectrum of pottery development spans a time ranging from the 5th century BCE to the 13th century CE. The fieldwork of the KAAK excavation (1992 to 2010) is terminated. The pottery sequence from Tissamaharama, established by Heidrun Schenk, serves as reference for the history of the Indian subcontinent. It provides archaeological benchmarks to study the historical formation of long-distance trade across the Indian Ocean from Southeast Asia in the East to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf in the west. The pottery sequence provides reliable archaeological indications for the duration of many relevant sites. It leads to an understanding of the differentiation of mercantile trade ties and their shifting in time.Stratigraphicaly sealed complexes are the basis for the pottery sequence. Preliminary work on the stratigraphy of the contexts was necessary. Results were gathered in detailed plans and general maps. This work is not yet completely finished. Of particular significance for this process is the mapping of scattered pottery fragments of individual vessels. The pottery research of Tissamaharama contributes fundamentally to South Asian archaeology and to the economic history of the Indian Ocean trade. Comparative materials were provided by excavators from Sumhuram (Oman: Italian-Omani excavation); Berenike (Egypt: American-Egyptian excavation), Pattanam (India: excavation of Historical Council Kerala), Mahastangarh in Bangladesh (joint Bangladesh-France project) and Sembiran/Pacung (Bali: Australian-Indonesian excavation). The pottery from Tissamaharama and its chronology are likewise highly relevant for the dating and study of early script in India. About 4000 fragments with early Brahmi letters from the site alone are a profound basis. The frequency of female Buddhist names, apart from a range of male monks, is especially surprising. Several Tamil-Brahmi names speak for strong bonds and exchange to nearby Southern India.

申请的目的是资助完成在Tissamaharama进行的陶器研究的出版。陶器发展的时间跨度从公元前世纪到公元世纪。KAAK挖掘现场工作（1992年至2010年）结束。由Heidrun Schenk建立的Tissamaharama的陶器序列可以作为印度次大陆历史的参考。它提供了考古基准，以研究从东到东南亚，西到红海和波斯湾的印度洋长途贸易的历史形成。陶器序列为许多相关遗址的持续时间提供了可靠的考古学证据。它导致了对商业贸易关系的分化及其随时间推移的理解。地层学上封闭的复合体是陶器序列的基础。有必要对环境的地层学进行初步研究。结果被收集在详细的计划和总地图中。这项工作尚未完全完成。对这一过程特别有意义的是绘制单个容器的散落陶器碎片。Tissamaharama的陶器研究对南亚考古学和印度洋贸易的经济史做出了根本性的贡献。来自Sumhuram（阿曼：意大利-阿曼挖掘）、Berenike（埃及：美国-埃及挖掘）、Pattanam（印度：历史理事会喀拉拉邦挖掘）、孟加拉国Mahastangarh（孟加拉国-法国联合项目）和Sembiran/Pacung（巴厘岛：澳大利亚-印度尼西亚挖掘）的挖掘者提供了比较材料。Tissamaharama的陶器及其年代学同样与印度早期文字的年代测定和研究高度相关。大约4000个碎片与早期婆罗门字母从网站本身是一个深刻的基础。除了一系列男性僧侣之外，女性佛教徒名字的频率尤其令人惊讶。几个泰米尔-婆罗门名字代表着与附近南印度的牢固联系和交流。
