With KALIBANGAN I pottery lying overlapped with the Harappa at the bottom layers of Ropar, \*c.\* 2100 B.C. could be thought of as the safest date for the beginning of Pd I with an average thickness of over 2 m a span of 700 years, ending at \*c.\* 1400 B.C. appears reasonable. The evidence of BHAGWANPURA² where BARA and PGW cultures are found interlocked would also lend an indirect support to this date, for the BARA complexion at BHAGWANPURA² appears to be only a devolution of the Sutlej complex. - [Previous: v2.c44.475](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.475) - [Next: v2.c44.477](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.477) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) ## Cites (1) - [Kālībangan](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kalibangan) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.476](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.476) · Pramāṇa
