Mariners and Merchants: A Study of the Ceramics from Sanjan (Gujarat)

By Rukshana J. Nanji

This report on the Sanjan ceramic assemblage is the first in the series of reports on the Sanjan excavations conducted between 2002-2004. The Sanjan excavations have not only succeeded in providing a fresh perspective to Parsi / Zoroastrian history, but have also provided evidence for a prominent, multi-cultural, commercially active port settlement which formed an important component of the Indian Ocean trade network of the Early Medieval period. The assemblage comprises West Asian, Chinese and indigenous wares.
