To sum up the position, the archaeological sequence in Kathiawad does not belie its history and its function in the historical geography of India. Hence this long story of survival and deterioration fits into the geographic picture of Gujarat, as an area of relative isolation from the rest of the sub-continent, and a simultaneous window to the influences from across the seas. Further work will be necessary to confirm this hypothesis and, more than anything, an independent absolute date for the Lothal is a great desideratum. Thus it will be seen that the so-called "Dark Age" ceases to be dark already!
