This Presidential Young Investigator award provides five years of support to Dr. Kenoyer. It permits him to develop and gain experience in techniques in archaeometric research; to continue his own work in Pakistan and India; and to develop new teaching frameworks. Dr. Kenoyer will learn to: prepare ceramic thin sections and apply techniques of petrographic analysis; prepare samples for S.E.M. analysis; conduct micro.wear analysis using binocular microscopes; conduct trace element analysis using S.E.M. and electorn probe; carry out metallurgical analysis, including experimental replication using traditional ores and smelting procedures; and develop methods of ceramic replication and analysis. With these techniques he can both determine the methods of production of ceramic, metal and other materials, and in some cases also determine points of origin of raw materials. Dr. Kenoyer is currently involved in a major archaeological excavation at the site of Harappa in Pakistan. Specific studies will be conducted to source shell, stone and metal ores as well as finished objects used in external and internal trade. He will also study modern pottery manufacture in Pakistan and bead working in India to record traditional technological aspects of these industries and types of adaptations, both technological and social that have occurred through the introduction of imported technology. This will help him to understand past cultures and the role of innovation in change. This work is important because it will improve Dr. Kenoyer's archaeological skills, contribute to our understanding of the past, and aid in the development of innovative teaching programs.

该总统青年研究员奖为 Kenoyer 博士提供五年的支持。它使他能够发展并获得考古研究技术的经验；继续他在巴基斯坦和印度的工作；并开发新的教学框架。 Kenoyer 博士将学习： 制备陶瓷薄片并应用岩相分析技术； 为 S.E.M. 准备样品分析;使用双目显微镜进行微磨损分析；使用 S.E.M. 进行微量元素分析和电子探针；进行冶金分析，包括使用传统矿石和冶炼程序进行实验复制；并开发陶瓷复制和分析方法。通过这些技术，他既可以确定陶瓷、金属和其他材料的生产方法，在某些情况下还可以确定原材料的原产地。 克诺耶博士目前正在参与巴基斯坦哈拉帕遗址的一项大型考古发掘工作。将针对国内外贸易中使用的贝壳、石头和金属矿石以及成品的来源进行具体研究。他还将研究巴基斯坦的现代陶器制造和印度的珠子加工，以记录这些行业的传统技术方面以及通过引进进口技术而发生的技术和社会适应类型。这将帮助他了解过去的文化以及创新在变革中的作用。 这项工作很重要，因为它将提高克诺耶博士的考古技能，有助于我们了解过去，并有助于开发创新的教学项目。
