Roxanna Brown
Roxanna Maude Brown (2 May 1946 – 14 May 2008) was a prominent authority on Southeast Asian ceramics and director of the Bangkok University's Southeast Asian Ceramics Museum.〔"Questions Surround the Life and Death of an Antiquities Scholar" by Marcia Ann Overland, ''Chronicle of Higher Education'', September 14, 2008.

==Biography==
Brown was born on a farm in Illinois, USA, and received a bachelor's degree from Columbia University in 1968. She then became a journalist in South Vietnam, where her brother was serving in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Interested in Asian art, she earned a master's degree from University of Singapore in 1973. She married and made her home in Bangkok, but she was run over and nearly killed in a traffic accident in the 1980s, which cost her a leg and seriously damaged her hearing. Nevertheless, in 2004, she received a Ph.D. from UCLA, working on the so-called Ming Gap, a 300-year interval when China blocked exports of ceramics. A production boom across Southeast Asia resulted. Brown's analysis of ceramics recovered from shipwrecks of the period "revolutionized the understanding of trade patterns in the region," according to colleagues cited in the ''Los Angeles Times''.〔〔Brown, Roxanna M.
