Grey

I get "painted" but shouldn't there be some explanation of "grey"? --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 02:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The whole pitch is one-sided in favour of the traditional archaeology of India. Thus, it would be appropriate to add 'of the Gangetic region to the title'. PYule — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.52.187.11 (talk) 20:45, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Age coexisting with bronze age

Any ratification of this, an Iron Age culture in peacefully co existing with a bronze age culture would be one of a kind.

//Confirmation of this early PGW came when a team of the Archaeological Survey of India led by B.R. Mani and Vinay Kumar Gupta collected charcoal samples from Gosna, a site 6 km east of Mathura across the Yamuna river where two radiocarbon dates from PGW deposit came out to be 2160 BC and 2170 BC.//

References

I noticed a number of references using the url to a Google Book link. I though editors might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.

Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books

I used it to improve two such references.

It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it. S Philbrick (Talk) 18:22, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
