Copper was found in the excavated areas in Rajasthan. Out of these, Copper supply to the Harappans was provided by __________.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A.Bagor in Bhilwara
  • B.Ganeshwar in Sikar
  • C.Ahar in Udaipur
  • D.Banas in Rajasmand

Answer: B

The copper came from Ganeshwar in Sikar.

Ganeshwar, near Neem-ka-Thana, lies in the copper-rich Khetri belt. Excavations found a large number of copper objects there, including arrowheads, fish-hooks, spearheads and axes, and the site is regarded as a supplier of copper to the Harappan cities.

Ahar near Udaipur is the type site of the Ahar-Banas Chalcolithic culture, which used copper but is not identified as the Harappans' supplier. Bagor in Bhilwara is a Mesolithic site, and 'Banas in Rajasmand' names a river, not the supply site.
