Consider the following about metal trade and metallurgy in Harrapan civilization.
1. The Harappans produced enough copper ore to export it to Western India and even West Asia.
2. No evidence of the use of an alloy can be found in the civilization.
3. There is evidence of use of Gold and precious metals in the civilization that was sourced from Southern India and even abroad.
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Explanation:
Statement 1: The Harappans probably got copper from present-day Rajasthan, and even from Oman in West Asia.
Statement 2: Tin, which was mixed with copper to produce bronze, may have been brought from present-day Afghanistan and Iran. So, 2 is wrong.
Statement 3: Gold could have come all the way from present-day Karnataka, and precious stones from present-day Gujarat, Iran and Afghanistan.
