    The Iron Age in India succeeded the Late Harappan culture and lasted from approximately 1200 BCE to 180 BCE. The main archaeological cultures of the Indian Iron Age were the Painted Grey Ware culture from 1100 to 350 BCE and the Northern Black Polished Ware from 700 to 200 BCE. The earliest Iron Age sites in South India date to around 1000 BCE. During this period, the Vedic texts were composed and early Buddhism developed under the Magadha kingdom from the 5th to 4th centuries BCE. The North Indian Iron Age ended with the rise of the Maurya Dynasty in the 3rd century BCE and the appearance of Ashoka's edicts, while South India simultaneously entered a period of history known as the Sang

    The Iron Age in the Indian subcontinent succeeds the Late Harappan (Cemetery H) culture,
    also known as the last phase of the Indus Valley Tradition. The main Iron Age archaeological
    cultures of India are the Painted Grey Ware culture (1100 to 350 BC) and the Northern Black
    Polished Ware (700 to 200 BC).

    The earliest Iron Age sites in South India are Hallur, Karnataka and Adichanallur, Tamil Nadu
    [1]

    at around 1000 BC. Technical studies on materials dated c. 1000 BCE at Komaranhalli
    (Karnataka) showed that the smiths of this site could deal with large artifacts, implying that they
    had already been experimenting for centuries (Agrawal et al. 1985: 228-29). Sahi (1979: 366)
    drew attention to the presence of iron in Chalcolithic deposits at Ahar, and suggested that the
    date of the beginning of iron smelting in India may well be placed as early as the sixteenth
    century BC and by about the early decade of thirteenth century BC iron smelting was
    definitely known in India on a bigger scale.

    Historical kingdoms of the Iron Age:
    Iron Age India 1200272 BC
    Maha Janapadas 700300 BC
    Magadha Empire 684424 BC
    Nanda Empire 424-321 BC
    Maurya Empire (pre-Ashoka) 321272 BC
    Most of the Vedic period (excepting the earliest phase of the core of the Rigveda) falls within the
    early part of the Indian Iron Age (12th to 6th centuries BC). The development of early Buddhism
    takes place in the Magadha period (5th to 4th centuries BC).
    The North Indian Iron Age can be taken to end with the rise of the Maurya Dynasty and the
    appearance of literacy (the edicts of Ashoka, r. 272-232 BC) indicating the gradual onset of
    historicity. South India simultaneously enters historicity with the Sangam period, beginning in
    the 3rd century BC. From the 2nd century BC, the cultural landscape of Northern India is
    transformed with lasting effect with the intrusion of the Indo-Scythians and Indo-Greeks, and the
    kingdoms succeeding this period, up to the medieval Muslim conquests are conventionally
    grouped as Middle kingdoms of India.
