But of all the various Post-Harappan cultures, the most widely spread, and the movements of which can be directly traced into the Gangetic basin, is that of the Painted Grey Ware culture. At Rupar,³ on the Sutlej, the habitation begins with a Harappan and is succeeded after a distinct break by the Grey Ware culture. This sequence neatly ties up with the Early historic period, characterized by the advent of the Gangetic valley Northern Black Polished Ware. This Grey Ware culture seems to have a wide distribution in the Valleys of Sutlej, Sarasvati and Drishadvati in the Punjab-Bikaner area. We eagerly await some work on the other side of the Pakistan border.
