Carbon-14 dates for the Harappan culture are 2300-2000 BC for metropolitan centres, 2200-1700 BC for the peripheral sites, 2200-1500 BC for Lothal (Phases I to V), 2000-1500 BC for Rangpur and 1800-1700 BC for Ahar. Ahar and Lothal cultures came in contact with each other by 1700 BC. Lothal inhabitation might have started even before 2200 BC. (Rao, 37-46)
