Typical bronze objects including spearheads, arrowheads and razor blades, chert blades and cores and other mature Harappa artefacts also occur here. This assemblage is named I B. Somewhat similar mixed material is found in RPR-1 over I A levels, but the BARA ware is in low key here. In order to distinguish the two assemblages, although they are not radically different from each other, the phase overlying I A in RPR-1 is named I C. At present it is difficult to say if between I B and I C one preceded the other, and if so which one. These two phases represent an overlap between the Harappa and BARA, the two folks living together as neighbours, yet maintaining their independent identities. - [Previous: v2.c44.468](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.468) - [Next: v2.c44.470](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.470) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.469](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.469) · Pramāṇa
