The fact that three different labs, including one based in America, agreed on the radio dating, lends a lot of credibility to this discovery. I wonder if this also changes assumptions on where some technologies originated and how they spread, and if that in turn changes the understanding of human migrations.
However, according to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, the new findings push the introduction of iron in the Tamil landscape back 5,300 years.
This is unrelated, but is “Stalin” a common name in India? I thought it was a Russian last name that is now taboo in terms of real life usage because of Joseph Stalin.
