It does not pretend to be more than a stock-taking of our incomplete evidence and interpretation, as a preliminary and incentive to further work in the field. Some form of working hypothesis is essential, however drastically they have to be revised, and I have therefore attempted to indicate what seem to me to be the nature and succession of the various human cultures making up the pattern of the earliest India. - [Previous: c6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c6.1) - [Next: c7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c7.2) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c7.1) · Pramāṇa
