Beads in the World, by Kazunobu Ikeya (ed.) (2018)

A detailed analysis of Ernestite drills from the Harappan site of Dholavira, India, has significantly advanced our understanding of drill types and subtypes. This study, featured in 'Beads in the World,' employs statistical methods to categorize and analyze a substantial collection of drills, revealing nuanced distinctions in their attributes. The research not only enhances our knowledge of ancient Harappan craftsmanship but also provides insights into the functional diversity and possible uses of these tools during that era.
