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). - [Previous: v2.c38.116](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.116) - [Next: v2.c38.118](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.118) - [Up: v2.c38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38) ## Linked texts (1) - [Saipai](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.saipai) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.117](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.117) · Pramāṇa
