Since this date, surveys and studies of pottery were conducted in 60 archaeological sites in four sub-regions of Ladakh: Lower and Upper Ladakh, Changthang, Purig and Zanskar. This research aims, first of all, to demonstrate the changes of production during the different periods and the material and cultural relations that Ladakh has had with its neighbours in different chronological frameworks.

Ceramics represent one of the main sources in archaeology to shed light on the different settlement dynamics of the region and its chronology. This research aims to establish, through an in-depth technological and typological study, the different ceramic traditions of Ladakh, with a view to identifying technical and artistic innovations at different periods. It is organised around two main axes: a diachronic analysis through which the transformations of ceramic productions in Ladakh from Protohistory (3rd-2nd millennia BCE) to the Namgyal dynasty (16th-19th centuries CE) are studied in order to propose new chronological frameworks for the region; and a synchronic analysis that aims to identify the different material and cultural exchanges between Ladakh and neighbouring regions of Central Asia, India and Tibet at different periods.
