The beginning of the n.-w. Neolithic culture [4.6.1] represented at Burzahom, on the basis of the thickness of deposits and of pottery datable to the early historical period, was taken to be as early as 1200 b.c. and ending some time in the late 3rd-2nd century b.c. by Gordon, 1950, p. 82, while Krishnaswami, on the analogy of the Neolithic phase of Kile Gul Muhammad in Baluchistan and tool types regarded it as much earlier than the Karnataka and not influenced by the e. Neolithic culture (Krishnaswami, 1960, p. 63).
