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.
