Abstract: This British Council funded project under the UKIERI scheme (2009 to 2011) brought together a group of researchers who share many years of experience in the study of South Asia’s rich archaeometallurgy and who also share a passionate desire to understand and communicate India’s contribution to the history of science and early pre-eminence in the production of ultra high-carbon steels of the finest quality. This project, entitled ‘Pioneering metallurgy: origins of iron and steel making in the southern Indian subcontinent’, has set itself on the trail of vanishing evidence for pioneering ferrous metallurgy in the Telengana region of Andhra Pradesh, which was once a ‘technological hub’ of the pre-industrial world.
