Dear Venkat, Frankly speaking I'm not really specialized in the archeological discipline. I'm to a certain degree more at home in history and philology. About the two cultures simultaneously theremight be no real problem: The Kuru-Bharatas were mainly in western UP to the Panjab. As for the Aikshvakava they were in eastern UP and Bihar (Videha-Mithila was an offshoot of Ayodhya) , but also in Dakshina Kosala (Chattisgarhj and Madhya Pradesh). From very ancient times the PanchaJanya or Five Tribes (Yadu-Turvasu-Druhyu-Anu-Puru) were in the western parts, moving from Pratishthana (Prayaga) towards the Panjab and southern India, especially the Vidarbha-Yadavas(the only exception are the Purviya Anava who ruled in Bangal). Their eastern neighbours, the Aikshvakava, were mainly in eastern UP. Of course the situation was changed everytime an emperor of either dynasty was ruling over the neighbouring dynasties. About the PGW It is probably a Magadhan culture of maybe Mauryan and post-Mauryan dynasties. About the SSC (IVC) and Vedic Culture I will reply on this subject later, if my boss gives me the time to do so, haha. For I'm working now.
