The Art of Mehrgarh is incredible

[edit] Date?

I don't know much about this topic so I don't want to make edits myself, but this National Geographic article (about the early dentistry practiced there) implies the site existed before the use of metal, about 9000 BCE.Rigadoun 17:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Is the site a civilisation, pre-civilised, or a proto-civilisation? John D. Croft 15:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I have added a paragraph as well as the link to the Nature article on the proto-dentistry. They used flint drills. The Nature article—a one-page pdf—is fascinating and well worth reading. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 09:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
