Stone Beads of South and Southeast Asia: Archaeology, Ethnography and Global Connections is by far the most comprehensive book on stone beads. With contributions from 25 leading scholars from 17 research institutions of eight countries, the book dwells on related matter from ancient as well as modern India and other regions of South Asia. Stone beads have gained the reputation of being one of the most important markers of prehistoric technological complexity, especially in South Asia.

Keeping this in mind, this book discusses, with the help of literary and epigraphical references, the development of stone beads through the ages, the utility and fruitfulness of typologies, the techniques historically used in their production and finally the modern scientific procedures which can be used in their study to better understand and interpret the past technology. It also deals with ethnohistorical studies of Khambhat (Cambay) to understand the historical development of the city the most prominent traditional stone bead industry of the world? since the crafts started there, and ethnographical studies to know the symbolism behind the aggressive use of particular products. The combined output of this book is a result of long-term fieldwork and experimental and scientific studies in laboratories.
