Some info from Dr. Kenoyer's bio:
Jonathan Mark Kenoyer, Professor in Anthropology, teaches archaeology and ancient technology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has taught at Madison since 1985 and is currently director of the Center for South Asia at the UW. He also serves as President of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies. His main focus is on the Indus Valley Civilization and he has worked in Pakistan and India for the past32 years. He has a special interest in ancient technologies and crafts, socio-economic and political organization as well as religion. These interests have led him to study a broad range of cultural periods in South Asia as well as other regions of the world. His publications include monographs on the Indus civilization as well as numerous articles, a grade school book on ancient South Asia and even a coloring book on the Indus cities for children.
Dr. Kenoyer was born and raised in eastern and northern India. He has a BA in Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley and completed his MA and PhD (1983) in South Asian Archaeology from the same university. He has studied Sanskrit and speaks Bangla, Urdu and Hindi fluently. He has conducted archaeological research and excavations at both Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, two of the most important early sites in Pakistan, and has also worked in western and central India on sites ranging from the Lower Palaeolithic to the Harappan period. He has been collaborating with Dr. Kuldeep Bhan, at the Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda since 1979. He is currently working with Dr. Bhan and the Global Heritage Fund (directed by Jeff Morgan and assisted by Kalpana Desai) to raise funds to establish a new museum and research center on the Indus civilization in Baroda, Gujarat.
He was Guest Curator at the Elvehjem Museum of Art, Madison for the exhibition on the Ancient Cities of the Indus Valley Civilization, which toured the U.S. in 1998-1999. He was a special consultant for the Art of the First Cities: The Third Millennium B.C. from the Mediterranean to the Indus exhibition curated by Joan Aruz at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2002. His work has been featured in the National Geographic Magazine and Scientific American and on the website www.harappa.com. Some of his most recent publications are provided below.
