The project has achieved the proposed goal by developing theoretical framework for anthropology of technology based on insights of Marcel Mauss. Based on this framework principal investigator finished the manuscript of ethnography of indigenous engineering in Thailand, which is going to be published in the subsequent year. In addition to that, the presentations of the research at international conferences and meetings attracted much attention from international audience and led to the formation of a new international network of researchers working on anthropology of science and technology.
