Thermoluminiscent dating of a few potsherds by the Arch. Research Laboratory at Oxford have placed them somewhere between 2030-1730 B.C., the mean date being 1880 B.C. This strengthens the view that the OCW culture was contemporaneous with the Harappa culture [4.9] but according to the evidence so far gathered it was independent of the latter. The excavation at SAIPAI has confirmed that the authors of the OCW and the Copper Hoards [4.11] were the same people (Lal, 1971-2, pp. 46-9).
