Inconsistent capitalization of cultures[edit]

I note the following:

Only the black and red isn't capitalized. I also believe that the Ochre-Coloured and Black-and-red should be hyphenated, but one would have to research common usage in the appropriate references to see whether the standard punctuation has been dispensed with.

Vedic or Harappan?[edit]

For what it's worth, R. Balakrishnan relates black and red ware with the Harappans. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:57, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Culture?[edit]

The article is called BRW culture, however, as far as I can see, it is not considered a single culture, but a technique that was widely used in India in different times. See also Singh, H.N. (1979): 'Black and Red Ware. A Cultural Study'. Most texts thus avoid using 'culture'. For instance, Singh, U. (2008): A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India. From the Stone Age to the 12th Century does say 'Painted Grey Ware (PGW) culture', but doesn't do the same for BRW. Also the literature used to reference the first sections, Ragupathy and Southworth, don't call it a culture. I therefore suggest to stop calling it a culture and focus more on the wide spread of BRW through time and space. BoH (talk) 05:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
