Rajasthan which is close to Malwa iron including slag occurs as early as I B (including slag), dated about 1500 B.C. If there is no serious stratigraphic mix-up one has to assume that the Chalcolithic culture at AHAR² was an Iron Age culture after its Ia. It may be mentioned that the evidence of iron in AHAR² Chalcolithic is not from one trench but from five trenches (Sahi, 1979). - [Previous: v1.c9.s16.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s16.4) - [Next: v1.c9.s16.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s16.6) - [Up: v1.c9.s16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s16.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s16.5) · Pramāṇa
