In low frequency they are also found mixed with wheat at Chanhu-daro (Vishnu-Mittre, unpublished). The material from Harappa is referred to as \*H. vulgare\* var. \*hexastichum\* (Vats, 1940). In contrast to the low frequency of barley found at the above sites, a sizeable quantity was found at Kalibangan (Fig, 87, bottom right). Mohenjo-daro material, as mentioned above, is dated 1750 B.C. from the late levels, whereas Kalibangan material is dated 2090-2075 B.C. (Agrawal and Kusumgar, 1968 a, b). There is reason to believe that barley was cultivated throughout the Harappan period from 2300 B.C. to 1750 B.C. - [Previous: v1.c19.s7.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.12) - [Next: v1.c19.s7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.14) - [Up: v1.c19.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.13) · Pramāṇa
