The Bronze Age in the Indian subcontinent begins around 3000 BCE, and in the end gives rise to the Indus Valley Civilisation, which had its (mature) period between 2600 BCE and 1900 BCE. It continues into the Rigvedic period, the early part of the Vedic period. It is succeeded by the Iron Age in India, beginning in around 1000 BCE.

dbo:abstract
  • The Bronze Age in the Indian subcontinent begins around 3000 BCE, and in the end gives rise to the Indus Valley Civilisation, which had its (mature) period between 2600 BCE and 1900 BCE. It continues into the Rigvedic period, the early part of the Vedic period. It is succeeded by the Iron Age in India, beginning in around 1000 BCE. South India, by contrast, remains in the Mesolithic stage until about 2500 BCE. In the 2nd millennium BCE, there may have been cultural contact between North and South India, even though South India skips a Bronze Age proper and enters the Iron Age from the Chalcolithic stage directly. In February 2006, a school teacher in the village of Sembian-Kandiyur in Tamil Nadu discovered a stone celt with an inscription estimated to be up to 3,500 years old. Indian epigraphist Iravatham Mahadevan postulated that the writing was in Indus script and called the find "the greatest archaeological discovery of a century in Tamil Nadu". (en)
  • L'età del bronzo in India ebbe inizio intorno al 3000 a.C.; in questa fase ebbe origine la grande civiltà della valle dell'Indo, la cui fase matura è compresa nel periodo tra il 2600 a.C. e il 1900 a.C. Continuò poi nel primo periodo vedico, per essere seguita dall'età del ferro a partire dal 1000 a.C. circa. L'India del sud, al contrario, rimase ferma alla fase mesolitica fino al 2500 a.C. circa. Nel II millennio a.C., ci possono essere stati dei contatti culturali tra il Nord e il Sud del paese, anche se l'India meridionale salta l'età del bronzo ed entra nell'età del ferro direttamente dal calcolitico.
