Heine Geldern¹ and more recently Fairservis² have identified the other Post-Harappan culture of Jhukkar with the Aryans. Heine Geldern depends on the animal headed pin, trunnion axe, bronze dagger from Fort Munro and the antennae sword, which he derives from Luristan, for his contention that the Aryans moved into India about 1200-1000 B.C. According to Fairservis pottery found at a number of sites—Dabar Kot, Moghtul Kala and Kaudani (with broad black lines of black and red running horizontally above the body of the vessel, loops and hatching along the rim, and various geometric and curvilinear patterns, and belonging to Rana Ghundai IV), has Jhukkar affinities. Since the Jhukkar culture overlies the Harappan at Chanhudaro, the stratigraphic relation also supports their hypothesis.³
