Thesis : Ceramic productions in Ladakh (Northern India): material and cultural interactions between Central Asia, India, and Tibet from the Protohistory to the Namgyal Dynasty (3rd-2nd Millennium BCE to 17th century CE)
Directed by Charles Ramble (EPHE), Corinne Debaine-Francfort (CNRS)

Presentation

I am a PhD student in archeology at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE, PSL Research University). Since 2015, I have been conducting research on ceramic productions in Ladakh. This research aims to discover new chronologies for the region and understand the material and cultural interactions that Ladakh has had with its neighbors in Central Asia, Tibet, and India over different periods.

Since 2011, I have taken part in several archaeological missions for excavations or study of the ceramics in Afghanistan (site of Mes Aynak), in Uzbekistan (sites of Termez and Romitan), in Turkmenistan (site of Ulug Dépé), in Nepal (region of Mustang) and in India (Spiti Valley). I also collaborate in the studies of ceramics and excavations of the Franco-Indian Archaeological Mission in Ladakh on the Leh Choskhor site.

During my PhD, I was involved in various research and professional projects: research assistant at the French Archaeological Delegation in Afghanistan (DAFA); research assistant for the Franco-Turkmen Archaeological Mission in Turkmenistan (MAFTur) and currently, I work as excavation supervisor for Eveha International.
