Dating problems

The article Indo-Aryan migration says that the immigration took place ca. 1700 to 1300 BCE. The article Black and red ware culture gives the dates 12th – 9th centuries BC, and the iron object is dated to c. 1000 BC. If these dates are consistent with the Indo-Aryan migration, can the dating of the horse-bones then be secure enough to contradict the introduction of horses by the Indo-Aryans? Some more information about the dating of these bones would be most welcome.--Berig (talk) 07:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :)!--Berig (talk) 08:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the horsey stuff is discussed in context here. I am at a loss as to the "theory that iron wasn't used in India prior to 250 BC". I've never heard of such a theory. Perhaps "South India" is meant? But whose theory, exactly, was that? the Indian Iron Age to the best of my knowledge is generally assumed to begin around 1000 BC, no surprises there. --dab (𒁳) 10:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
