Posted

St. Lawrence University professor Shinu Abraham was recently awarded the Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lectureship for 2013.

Abraham plans to use the lecturship award to continue her ongoing research into Indian glass beads. She is working to document and analyze excavated glass beads from an ancient South Indian port site, Pattanam/Muziris. She is also developing a survey project to trace the manugacture of ancient iron and glass in South India.

Abraham will travel to Hyderabad and then spend the month of June in Tirupati and the southern Andhra Pradesh region, where the field survey and museum work will take place.

Next year she will deliver a campus lecture, “Quest for Fire: The Search for the Origins of Ancient South Indian Glass.”
