Remains of copper artefacts manufacturing workshop of the Harappan period are reported from ......................... .
Answer: A
The workshop is reported from Lothal.
S. R. Rao's excavations at Lothal in Gujarat uncovered a coppersmith's workshop with crucibles, moulds and finished copper objects, alongside the site's bead-makers' workshop, dockyard and warehouse. Lothal is therefore the textbook example of Harappan copper-working.
The other sites are known chiefly for other things. Kuntasi is a small coastal settlement in Saurashtra associated with bead-making and trade; Surkotada in Kachchh is known for its fortifications and the debate over horse remains; and Madina is not one of the sites the standard accounts name for Harappan metal-working. The question asks for the site where the copper workshop is reported, and that is Lothal.
