The Origin and Transmission of the Ahar Culture
v1.c15.s7.7
The origin of the Ahar culture has not been clearly established. Some people suggested without convincing proof that it came from Western Asia and had at Ahar. It is much more probable that after the collapse of the Harappan civilization, the people who knew copper and the metal-smiths of the Ganeshwar-Jodhpura culture migrated southwards and settled at Ahar. It is possible that they brought their traditions of iron level and the Chalcolithic culture. This is a point which we can-stand. (Sankalia et al. 1969).
v1.c15.s7.8
It is noticed that the technique of manufacturing shell objects, carnelian beads and Black-and-Red pottery as well as the technology of inverted firing from the Banas culture (Ahar) and these traditions were gradually transmitted towards Navdatoli, Maheshwar and Atranji-khera, (Sankalia et al. 1969: 219-230). It is thus clear that the metal smelting traditions in the Ganga-Yamuna valley grew during c. 1700-1300 BC with the assistance of smelters migrating from the Banas region such as Ahar.
