The Painted Grey Ware Culture of The Iron Age

Archaeological excavations in India and Pakistan have revealed evidence of substantial technological developments from the Iron Age. Between the period 1,100 and 800 BC, the Painted Grey Ware Culture emerged in this region, including not only the distinctive painted pottery after which the culture has been named by archaeologists, but also a wide range of tools and craftworks in ceramics, iron, copper, glass and bone.
